Thank you very much. It is a real pleasure to represent my department in my role of champion of official languages.
Actually, the strategy we have around the world is to work with multilateral organizations, meaning our partners in the United Nations, especially, for example, the committee that deals with sustainable development. There are also other bodies like the ICMM, which deals with responsible resource development.
We are very active participants in an intergovernmental forum. After our presentation, I think you are going to meet with representatives from PDAC and the Mining Association of Canada. We work with multilateral groups to promote best practices around the world in various aspects. Different countries have different situations, various challenges and a number of levels of governance.
So we have a transparent system that allows us to work multilaterally; other countries can benefit from the discussions we hold in those forums. That is our strategy.
It is really beneficial for us in Canada, specifically because of the agreements we have with other institutions. That allows us to develop our relationships with some countries. But, as I said earlier, it is not our responsibility to determine foreign policy, nor to decide on priorities. That is not what our department does.
