Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the witnesses for joining us today.
My questions will mostly be for Jeff Killeen and Lisa McDonald of the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada.
The mining sector is extremely important to my home province of Saskatchewan. There is broad public support for the mining sector. There is considerably less public support for the government's Bill C-69, brought in a few years ago. The Saskatchewan Mining Association has said that a majority of its members did not support the extra regulatory process brought in by Bill C-69.
I'd be curious to hear how the member organizations of PDAC feel about the additional regulations brought in a few years ago by Bill C-69.
