Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you for appearing here today, ladies.
The question I have is fairly elementary. It's back with the definitions. When I review Bill C-300, I see here under the definitions what appears to be a disclaimer, saying what isn't included in the extractive definition.
I suppose the other thing I question here with extractive is this. If this is really meant for corporate social responsibility with Canadian industry in foreign countries, why would it have left out forestry products or forestry and logging operations? Why would they be excluded? When I'm reading the definitions here of Bill C-300, it looks as though there are a whole number of issues here that are eliminated from the definition.
Could you comment on that, please? Shouldn't we have a corporate social responsibility for all forms of industry of extractive...whether they be above ground or below ground, to be consistent?
