Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Mr. Gauthier, I'm very glad you're here today to talk to us about the situation. It is rare for someone from the mining industry to appear.
You have been on the ground. Your background in the mining industry is also very noteworthy. I find it extraordinary. You're a real expert: you have 47 years of combined experience and have worked in 35 countries.
What is the reputation of Canadian mining companies abroad?
