Of course, the fact that companies like Taseko can even seek permission to destroy a lake in the first place, is due to a regulatory loophole within the Metal Mining Effluent Regulation of the Fisheries Act called Schedule 2. The loophole has been used by the Harper government since 2006 to enable metal mining companies to request exemption from the Act’s prohibitions against dumping deleterious substances into fish-bearing water or harming fish habitat.
