Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair.
At the last meeting we had the minister appear. I am sure the minister didn't do it on purpose, but I would like to correct the record. I wouldn't want the minister to be accused of doing something on purpose, so I would just like to clear the record.
First, he stated he never had a request for a joint review panel for the massive Ring of Fire development. He said:
I haven't personally received a specific request about that but we're very interested in how we can be helpful to advance development in Ontario's north.
As I said, I'm sure he didn't do it on purpose, but I want to show you this binder full of letters and petitions that went to the ministers. I would like to deposit this as information that the minister did know about a request for a joint review panel.
