That was a no-brainer question.
If that's the case, then, what recommendations can you have for us here? I think most Canadians obviously value jobs. They value opportunities. They value economic development. But we also have one of the best backyards in the world as Canadians: we also value clean water, clean air, and our pristine landscapes.
If we're not providing any tangible benefit through our current policy, other than frustration, maybe, and creating economic investment barriers, what recommendations would you have for this committee to ponder, insofar as streamlining the process or providing compensation when the environment is altered or changed during the exploration and mining processes is concerned?
What kinds of ideas are there, other than simply the idea of the regulatory burden getting in the way? Is there something else we can do for enhancement or whatever the case may be? What recommendations would you have for our committee going forward?
