Mr. Speaker, there is nothing like asking a question when the answer is already known, and I assume the member knows the answer. Yes, overall this will have a positive impact on the industry.
There is no question that some specific individual companies may benefit more than others. The industry accepts that. The Mining Association of Canada has made it very clear that even though some may not benefit initially and others may benefit greatly, it wants to see the legislation go through. It would not be fair to tell the member that everyone will benefit on day one. Clearly, overall the vast majority will benefit significantly because of these measures.
