At this point in time, as I noted in my opening remarks, Canada has quite a global reach for its mining and oil and gas industries.
What can often happen is this. Our companies that operate in some of these countries—they operate, for example, a mine—pay their taxes and royalties to the government, and then for whatever reason the money does not seem to make it back into the economy of the country. The local citizens feel that perhaps the companies are not paying their fair share of taxes.
This legislation will allow this information to be made public. It will brand Canada as a responsible resource developer in these countries and at home, because we're implementing the same standards at home. This information will be available on an annual basis. Citizens around the world can then hold their governments to account for the amounts of money that have been paid through taxes and royalties, etc., to these governments.
