need to respect the law you give me it's my job. if it was ok with that we will be unable to meet him again he is going to have a few years and. not for him does the company have a policy of criminalization and persecution against community members who oppose the company and both of you on two occasions i remember also critical enough that one was a violent assault on two members of our security force who ended up in the hospital . the other was a case where private property was damaged close to the marlin mine are property. worth we don't focus on identity or background to the former so can we focus on.

10:39 am
emphasis on recognizing the rights of indigenous people and this punk isn't just words the only lesson becomes ill everybody let's goldcorp on the back for having done the right thing and now let's just turn away from this or now let's just trust gold where they may have a report like on common ground. that that he's trying to portray goldcorp as the n.p.r. trying to listen i get very upset at those who the mining industry and other global industries they do not want hard binding law so they come up with all of the self regulating codes volunteering tones of condos and i think they're fundamentally problematic that's all well and good let me graduate you but look at what it says so much of what. n.g.o.s and communities and individuals have been saying have been validated by your own process.

10:45 am
on the road come in my brother couldn't go. on and he stayed here it was screaming in pain all over. it was murder us not. even only here in europe they got the signatures through manipulation through threats but here in the village of salmon county we have never been consulted the village of san miguel does now. one the mining company. the mine does not comply
10:46 am
with the relevant international human rights standards including those specifically developed to protect the rights of indigenous peoples so that alone. makes for a problematic situation when indigenous peoples aren't adequately consulted about a minor an operation of the scope of a mine like this that is placed in their midst. ultimately to the people of their to benefit need to benefit on their own terms their ability to take control of the reins of economic development around. a living economy economy is actually serving real people as
10:47 am
a local economy. first of all is a question whether mining should even be carried out altogether can it be done in a way which doesn't destroy people's lives resources environment and so on well you know those are pretty serious questions mining is not a what a moment problem it's happening in asia in africa and south america in central america in mexico and it's even happening in canada and the united states. you know it's something that's more valuable than an ounce of gold or clean water but that's not something that your mind will take it's it's it's your heart.
10:48 am
if. you don't know that it was just a. scene. since you. told.
10:49 am

10:50 am
and we're obviously pleased as the company but there's no longer a suspension order from the commission for the marlin miner. but the mine just keeps chugging along and so it's it's an extremely hard struggle. than being on the surface the company has brought a great sadness into our hearts does this setting us something this is the circus where not against the mind for fun of it. it is true in most others it is the most they were defending their right. then
10:51 am
and right for a healthy life. son therefore a decent told me. he and even a. kid like this out as a company came and tore this community apart again just school. ending up in snap at him i thought i mean when he came i thought she was going to kill me you know make it past sorry i said there is no coffee my copy don't make it to so don't buy sell your copy and why does one cup an all girl know there is none she lifted his jacket and then to enter into my eye i know that i'm there and sort of this but it's going to press now it's a problem i don't want to sell milan. and up there and when i went to the hospital i heard them say that i obviously one of these days she's going today.
10:52 am
she has one and my son has two. and you have three grandchildren i have three grandchildren now and there will be plenty of land where going to be abundant. and getting more and more abundant but if it isn't with us that means. this plan we've created to give us an idea of what we can work on here in twenty fourteen twenty fifteen what do we need to do we need to talk with the government we need to talk to those who have been affected by the mine here they are the purpose of this fight this fight is not in vain it is a fight with dignity i cross quite a mala they know about your fight they are learning about your fight crossed central america they know about your fight and they are learning about your fight and we in canada and the united states are learning about your fight we are driven
10:53 am
