Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
My colleague has given me an opportunity to talk about a topic that may be related and that is of great interest to mining regions, and falls within the current study.
In Quebec, we also welcome these projects. A lot of people commute back and forth to work in our communities. However, the wealth does not benefit the communities. In a way, we are happy to have these projects. Some people will get jobs in these projects, but most of the people are set up in camps and stay there for only a few weeks. Obviously, their salaries are very good. My riding is home to the wealthiest RCM in Quebec, Caniapiscau, which is located right next to Mr. Earle's riding, that is, the riding of Labrador. We share the Labrador Trough. The fact remains that we would like people to stay in the community, for mining workers to stay in the community, precisely so that they can enrich the community. We also want people in the community to be able to find work, both non-indigenous and indigenous people, of course.
How can we keep a lot of this wealth in the communities so that they can grow? Of course, we do not just want them to survive; we want them to be able to grow and benefit from this development.
I know you talked about co-management. I find that extremely interesting as well. I will give you the rest of my speaking time to tell us about that.
