From the transcript

My grandfather was John Schaefer Jr., and I'm a NANA shareholder. I'm calling in to voice my opposition to the road. The 88 tribes have stood against this, and it is alarming to see this move forward without consideration for the tribes. I'm also deeply concerned about the U.S. government's— the federal government's strategic investment into Trilogy Metals. That creates a clear conflict of interest where the federal government, who's issuing the permits, are the ones also financially benefiting from it, and there's been no frank discussion about how this is not under the perception of a conflict of interest.
