Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'll be sharing my time with Mr. Brison.
I was interested throughout the presentation, but near the end you talked about a specific company that ended up leaving because the government stepped in, if I understood correctly, and took them to court or made them adhere to certain rules they weren't prepared to abide by. Could you elaborate on that for me?
Also earlier, you mentioned the failure of companies to live up to their commitments, but it would seem, given what you said afterwards, that the legislation is there to protect or move toward protecting.
You mentioned you prefer Canadian companies to be mining, for example, in Peru. I hope I didn't misquote you. I'm asking that question because, as we deal with these FTAs wherever and mining is an aspect of the entire agreement, we are obviously speaking to all stakeholders or all parties. We're often told we can't do this or we shouldn't do that; we shouldn't go here, we shouldn't go there. I'm pleased to hear you'd prefer Canadian companies. Tell us why you'd prefer Canadian companies. Is it because we are more respectful of the law? Or is it because we have environmental standards we adhere to?
Just give us an idea of why you made that comment.
