David Bursey on Cover of Lexpert Special Edition on Mining

September 26, 2016

David Bursey appears on the cover of Lexpert's special edition on mining, which profiles the leading Canadian lawyers in global mining. David also comments in one of the featured stories on social licence to operate and its impact on the mining sector.

“One of the challenges of social licence, since it is by definition outside of the legal framework, is there is no mechanism to know when you have achieved social licence to operate . . . when you talk about social licence you are moving away from that process. If opponents have a loud voice and don’t like the results you have achieved through an environmental assessment and then they can frustrate a project, then you are frustrating your ability to move in a rational and democratic way.”
