Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My thanks to all the witnesses also.
Mr. Wark, last week, BNN Bloomberg pointed out that Canadians and investment funds in Canada seemed to be turning their backs on their own country by choosing to invest $144 billion abroad in the first 11 months of 2021. Yet our great and wonderful country is sitting on a vast reserves of resources that could secure Canada's economic success for decades.
How do you explain the fact that foreign companies see the advantage in investing in Canada's mining industry but Canadians themselves do not? My question is along the same lines as the one Mr. Masse asked previously.
