^ Well said.

Coxworth's decision to not participate in the panel discussions is a failed attempt to re-direct popular opinion (and thus public policy) towards an objective of limiting, and perhaps decreasing uranium mining/nuclear development in Saskatchewan.

Turning back decades of development requires more than simply choosing to participate or not participate in a one-time government advisory board.

I'm sure many opponents are beginning to feel the pressures associated with an anti-nuclear agenda, especially given the desire of Saskatchewan citizens to see their province grow economically beyond a raw source of material (I assume Cameco and Areva share similar objectives, though I am uncertain what kind of financial gains can be had by processing in Saskatchewan, then shipping the enriched product to other countries).
