The Chinese are just about the worst in the mining industry, and we had the same problems when we worked in China. It's like that in Africa and Latin America, but in China too. I guess the reasons are cultural, and again there are big differences.
Ms. Vasquez-Olguin mentioned Rio Blanco. The Chinese are there. I don't know about the Canadian mining company that was sold to the Chinese in Colombia, but I know about projects in Colombia generally. I don't know about the circumstances of that sale, but I'm not at all surprised that the Chinese operate that way. That's their way of doing things. They don't integrate; they bring their own equipment and personnel, and that's a problem.
You've probably heard about the problems in Peru; I'm not talking about the most recent ones, but the ones that we've heard about in the last six months, which involved a company that was mining the Las Bambas deposit. It was a Chinese company, and the problems were due to the very reasons I just mentioned.
Unfortunately, Canadian companies are not very far away, and quite often they find themselves in a difficult situation, as the protests are aimed at the mining industry. This situation was not created by the Canadian mining industry, but it is being affected by it. It happened recently, in the last six months, in the Cuzco region, and a Chinese company was involved. Unfortunately, we were in the same countries at the wrong time. So the behaviour of the Chinese is terrible all over the world.
The British that register in Canada have their own mentality, which is very different from the Canadian attitude in the mining sector. I would say that in the mining sector, Australian companies behave like Canadian companies. American companies do not align all that much with the Canadian approach, and South African companies, to not mention them by name, even less so. Canadians and Australians work to about the same standards, but I would say the others certainly work very differently.
