Yes.
Performance standard 6 is entitled, “Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Natural Resource Management”. The standard is supported by a number of recommendations, including recommendation 14, which reads:
The client will manage renewable natural resources in a sustainable manner. Where possible, the client will demonstrate the sustainable management of the resources through an appropriate system of independent certification.
So you can see the difficulty of making sure compliance can be assessed in a quick and clean manner.
In conclusion, I believe we're at the beginning of a fruitful and meaningful national conversation about the role of our extractive sector in the human development agenda. I think we've had some indication that there are many Canadian stakeholders, social investors, academics, and NGOs who wish to contribute to this conversation and search for common ground in order to significantly improve outcomes on the issues we care about.
Thank you for your time today. I look forward to your questions.
