Thank you.
I'll have to say that the PDAC does advocate for actual partnership between the mineral proponent and the community and for actual engagement with the communities. They actively look for participation and look to create prosperity on a mutually beneficial level. It is happening. Industry does talk to the communities when they get there. One thing that's happening is we're looking at and actually identifying the need for greater understanding amongst all the parties. That's both on the first nations side, in terms of the mining sequence, as well as on the industry side, in terms of first nations sensitivities. We are actively looking at trying to create a product or tool in conjunction with the related people on the ground, be it industry or first nations.
There are already materials that have been developed. One is a mining toolkit for aboriginal communities in conjunction with the Canadian Aboriginal Minerals Association, the Mining Association of Canada, and Natural Resources Canada. This describes the mining sequence from start to finish to help encourage...and to provide information so that informed decisions can be made. Recognizing the turning point from 2004 forward in terms of the duty to consult, everybody recognizes that.... Again, greater encouragement and helping clarify some of the consultation pieces and the clarity around engagement practices.... We monitor that. We look at better ways to open the doors, because it's about moving forward together. It's about winning and it's about getting to the deal. There has to be information on all sides.
The information flow is a very high-level collection for ideas and for very early exploration to identify a mineral deposit that could lead to an exploration. We're looking at the early exploration tenants and moving forward from there into the advanced stage.
