Trying desperately to get someone in our department to make a decision on what, where and when to send consultations for projects to First Nations. They just added this to my job and yet they can’t tell me which bands, which projects, what is consultation, what to do when they raise stuff we can’t address. Our headquarter staff is merrily going along at the speed of INTERNAL government (way slower than government speed) Meanwhile I have proponents waiting to build bridges and such all over Northern BC some of them with equipment waiting. I can’t get it through our staff head that they have to make these decisions and take some risks. I am willing to stick my neck out a fair bit, but unless my boss is willing to sign the approvals I will be pissing into the wind!!! AAARRRGHH!
Other than that it’s a nice day.
