Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all of our witnesses for their expertise and for sharing so much with us today.
I'd like to start with the mining industry. Thank you very much for your presentation, sir.
You mentioned the importance of certain programs with zero waste, etc. Highland Valley Copper is in my riding in British Columbia. One of the benefits of increased efficiency and innovation and whatnot that reduce the footprint, so to speak, is that they have extended the mine life by 20-plus years, which is incredibly important to a small community called Logan Lake. Do you have examples of similar operations in which taking into account both innovation and reduction of waste has led to increased efficiency as far as shelf life of the mines goes?
