Thank you, Madam Chair.
I'll never miss an opportunity to talk up Canada. We are number one when it comes to mining. We are number one in the world. When you talk about financing for mines, we are number one in the world. When you talk about the biggest show, when we bring PDAC here, we bring people from all over the world, and 130 or 140 countries come to Toronto, to Ontario, to Canada, to do business.
This is a real opportunity. We just had our Canada investment summit, and of the 167 projects through which we are looking to catalyze $1 trillion, 63 were mines. In the TSX, 40% to 50% is mining. We have a real opportunity here.
I'll start with Mr. Gratton and Bill C-39. Will that bring the ingredients necessary to build on our success, to get many of these mines to a better place and to continue to grow and export around the world? As I understand it, we export to over 100 countries around the world, and this will help with our diversification strategy.
