Isabelle Melançon, the Minister of Sustainable Development, the Environment and the Fight against climate change, is still calling for a BAPE with regard to the Authier project.
The Minister first suggested to the miner to submit the project by herself to the Public Hearings Office in order to obtain social acceptability.
However, if Sayona Christophe refuses to proceed, Isabelle Melançon intends to demand the BAPE herself.
