Thank you.
Ms. Houde, on this topic, at a previous meeting of the committee—last year, I believe, Mr. Lemire could confirm this for us, and it may have been Mr. La Salle who mentioned it—it was pointed out that 21 permits had to be obtained before opening a mine in Quebec.
Will the requirement for numerous technical documents, like building permits, environmental permits and authorizations from governments, slow down future mining operations that could otherwise put us in the forefront in these sectors in Quebec, and Canada more generally?
