Recommendation Detail

HEP-088

Human Environment (People) VCs High Priority

Request a specific demographic breakdown of the '462 Canadians' who participated in the National Citizens Dialogue to confirm if any residents of Melgund (Dyment/Borups Corners) were included.

Strategic Rationale

"The Proponent's submission relies on a 'National Citizens Dialogue' to establish the 'six fundamental values' that form the basis of the assessment framework. Melgund is an unorganized territory with unique vulnerabilities, specifically a total lack of local emergency services (no fire, no ambulance, no police). If the 'values' driving the assessment were derived entirely from urban or distant populations who assume the existence of municipal infrastructure, the resulting framework may fail to prioritize the critical safety gaps present in Dyment and Borups Corners. We must validate that 'local safety capacity' is not being overruled by 'national' preferences."
