Couldn't agree with you more. As I stated in my last post Tobin has his eye on the prime minister's job but IMHO it is already a foregone conclusion that the next leader of the Federal Liberals will be Paul Martin. He meets the criteria you laid out and which I wholeheartedly agree are the requirements. However, in politics things can change quickly but even if they do Brian Tobin will still not be the one who will succeed Cretien. But his delusion of grandeur will lead him to soften up his stand on Voisey's Bay which will hopefully help in getting this project back on track. cheers Killick

It's unlikely this conference will deal with the real problems in developing mining in Labrador. The first rocks that have to be removed are the ones that are in the heads of the politicians! - <snip> - thetelegram.com Sunday, June 20, 1999 Labrador sectors under microscope 6/19/99 By PAT DOYLE The Telegram The outlook for prominent resource sectors in Labrador will be scrutinized at a three-day conference in Happy Valley-Goose Bay next week. Some 125 delegates will discuss all aspects of mining, hydro, forestry and environmental assessment during the annual Voisey's Bay and Beyond conference and trade exhibition. The activities will take place in the E. J. Broomfield Memorial Arena Monday to Wednesday with business sessions scheduled for the last two days. “The mining industry in Labrador continues to be an area of potential growth, offering opportunity for new development, expansion and further processing in 1999,” said conference organizers. “Mining continues to be one of the leading resource-based industries in this province and is expected to continue in that role for the foreseeable future.” They said the conference session on that sector will give both company officials and developers an opportunity to discuss both ongoing and new mining developments in Labrador. Panelists from the provincial Mines and Energy department; Labrador Inuit Association, the Town of Labrador City, Iron Ore Company of Canada and Memorial University will lead the discussion. An address by Forest Resources and Agrifoods Minister Kevin Aylward will begin the discussion on the forestry sector Tuesday, in addition to speakers from government, business and industry and the Innu Nation. “The forestry potential has not been fully realized in part because the forest management planning process has not been completed,” said the organizing committee. “Panelists for this session will discuss the growth potential for the forestry sector and the management planning process.” Conference sessions on Wednesday will take a close look at what may lie ahead in the areas of hydro development and environment assessment. Speakers will include Ben Michel of the Innu Nation and Kathleen Blanchard of the Quebec Labrador Foundation as well as representatives of government, business and industry. The organizers said the session on environmental assessment will “bring together panelists who have a co-operative approach to environmental assessment and monitoring and have achieved as fair degree of success.” Special guest speakers at the conference will include Mayor Ross Visold of Hinton, Alta.; Dr. Carl Robbins, vice-dean, professional development, faculty of medicine, Memorial University and John Crosbie, Memorial's chancellor and former federal and provincial cabinet minister, who will deliver a keynote banquet address.
