In the wake of last week's blockade, Baffinland Iron Mines Corporation says it has heard the call to slow down plans to expand production at the Mary River mine. 
"It's unfortunate that they felt they had to go to those extremes to be heard," said Udloriak Hanson, Baffinland's vice-president of community and sustainable development, about the protesters who blockaded the mine's airstrip and trucking road for a week.
