Thank you, Chair.
I certainly appreciate the witnesses appearing here today.
I want to set the table a little bit. My questions will have a lot to do with reclamation and what happens afterwards, because I think focusing on the cleanup is very important. This is in relation to water.
When applications are received--I'm talking about an application for a pit mine or whatever the case might be, even if it's in situ--all of those applications must come with plans about how the company doing the exploration or the mining plans to reclaim and basically restore the landscape to its natural state. Is that correct?
