Evaluating the impacts on the environment isn't just red tape. If what you're proposing has the potential to affect fresh water and ecodiversity, that's not a good thing.
Look up what's happening in the Yukon right now with one of the biggest gold mines leaking cyanide into the drinking water. Coincidentally, said mine is on indigenous territory.
Not all environmentalists and indigenous groups are motivated by the same levels of greed and individualism that some of you are.
I'm not saying we shouldn't do things that are in the best interest of the country. But saying "#### it" when it comes to evaluating their impact isn't exactly a winning formula.
