Evidence of meeting #15 for Natural Resources in the 42nd Parliament, 1st Session. (The original version is on Parliament’s site, as are the minutes.) The winning word was sir.
A recording is available from Parliament.
5:30 p.m.
Assistant Deputy Minister, Minerals and Metals Sector, Department of Natural Resources
I think, at the government level, the Prime Minister has made the commitment on reconciliation. Indigenous engagement is a priority of the minister with not only the duty to consult, but participation, and that is an area of attention and focus.

The Chair Liberal James Maloney
Thank you. We're out of time.
I'll say thank you very much. We appreciate your coming in today on fairly short notice. As you're probably aware, this is the beginning of this segment of our study. I was cautioned repeatedly by a gentleman to my right that we should not start the study if it's going to be continued after the summer recess, but I was overwhelmed by the other members of the committee that we should do this.

The Chair Liberal James Maloney
I suggest not to rule out the possibility of a further invitation to come back in the fall. I'm just giving you some warning.
Thank you very much. That was an excellent presentation. The answers were helpful, and it'll get us well on our way in this part of the study.
We're back here on Wednesday for committee business. I would suggest that people come armed with lists of witnesses for this study.
5:30 p.m.

The Chair Liberal James Maloney
Yours are ready, so you're armed. Everybody else will do the same. I think I've already got Mr. Cannings'. We can do that. If there is any other committee business, or anybody who wants to talk, please send it my way, and I will add it to the agenda.
Okay. Is there anything else for today?
Thank you very much.
The meeting is adjourned.
