Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to each of our guests for being here today and sharing your views with us.
We've heard comments about some issues that have arisen with Canadian mining companies around the world. I've heard a little bit about what the Chinese do and the competitive markets that exist in various countries around the world, but I haven't heard a comparison between Canadian mining companies and how they perform with respect to transparency, corruption, workers' health and safety issues, and environmental issues, compared to Chinese or Russian or Australian or other countries' mining companies.
Mr. Georgetti, could you help us out with that, and provide some comparisons? Where do you think Canadian companies stack up in the world in terms of those issues?
