Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Minister Rickford, welcome to the industry committee. Thank you for joining us to share best practices. I understand that the Ontario provincial government has come up with its provincial critical mineral strategy.
I think some people might be reading my notes. One of my questions was about indigenous consultation and participation. Why don't we pick up there, Minister Rickford?
What recommendations would you make in terms of making sure that indigenous communities are included as participants in a critical mineral strategy?
