Request the inclusion of 'Social Cohesion in Unorganized Territories' as a specific Valued Component, citing the exclusion of Melgund from the 'Willingness' vote described in Section 4.1.
Strategic Rationale
"The submission highlights the 'community vote' in Ignace as a metric of acceptance but lists Melgund merely as an 'interested party' in Table 4.1. This exclusion creates significant social friction and stigma in the unorganized territory, which is geographically closer to the site than the voting municipality. By defining this as a Valued Component, the Proponent must formally assess how this procedural exclusion impacts the well-being and cohesion of the non-voting neighbors."
