That's a great question. Thank you.
I should start by clarifying that we do represent exploration and development, so our sister association is the Mining Association of Canada, and they do some phenomenal work in supporting their members to work on reclamation.
In general, what I can say is that in every jurisdiction there are strong closure plan requirements as part of the mining acts, so today's industry is not the same as it was 50 years ago. The regulatory process now mandates that reclamation be considered right from the beginning, and there are financial assurance requirements to ensure that the public doesn't have to hold the bag if it doesn't work out, if a company goes bankrupt and so on.
What we're seeing is that the combination of societal expectations is changing, which leads to regulatory change and corporate behavioural change. Together they are coming into the regulatory system to mandate those sorts of things. There is phenomenal innovation from the technology side. Across Canada, you can see some great stories of biodiversity actually increasing after a mine closure on a particular parcel of land. At a later date, I'd be happy to share some examples of that in writing with this committee.
