Mr. Chair, I'm going to be voting in opposition to this, simply due to the fact that I attended a natural resources summit in Prince George in January 2016. I specifically went a day early and had a first nation elder who has been working in mining for quite a number of years, most of his life, go through how mining is done from the start to the remediation of the land. There is such a change in the types of technologies and the methods that are used to respect the environment but at the same time to continue to supply good-paying Canadian jobs. Canadian mining companies are the largest users of computer technology in the country because of the sophistication, and that is reflected at all stages.
I profoundly disagree. There are challenges with junior mining companies. It is how they finance their operations, which is going to have long-term issues, but this is not going to assist in dealing with what the member is speaking to. I do appreciate her opinion. I would suggest, though, that she actually talk to some of the industry, maybe even walk some of the different projects, because the care that's given and the remediation that's done in those cases are quite significant.
