Thank you for a clear presentation on Canada's comprehensive approach. In your opening remarks, you mentioned that, according to Stats Can, Canada has over a thousand mining and exploration companies in 100 countries, encompassing about 5,000 projects. You are Natural Resources, our point people on this. Could you give us an idea of how Canada stacks up in relation to other countries? The United States is 10 times larger than Canada. Are we number two in the world? Are we number six? I am referring to mining capacity and the number of countries participating in international extraction efforts.
