With due respect--and I mean that--I think your intentions are good, but for a bill that will have the ramifications that this one has....
Let's not forget that this is the flagship industry in this nation. I'm trying to recall some of the figures. I think it's something like $8 billion to $10 billion that this industry generates--$2.5 billion in expenditures alone.
I want to go back to what Mr. Abbott was saying. This is a noble gesture. You're telling us, first of all, that you've crafted this bill and you haven't really investigated the allegations. On the other hand, answer that question. I really need an answer to that question as to what's going to happen with these mining companies, because we're going to be the only jurisdiction that's going to enforce these rules. I'm not saying that if there's a problem we shouldn't address it, but if we choose to be the only organization that's going to address these things, what is going to happen to our Canadian mining industry? I'd like to hear again, are you prepared to see those companies just migrate to another jurisdiction?
