Mr. Chair, we've done a compilation of good practices in community engagement, and the committee may be interested in some of those success stories and good practices that highlight some of the same examples the member was referring to in terms of success with aboriginal participation and employment in the mineral development industry. From a whole-of-government perspective, although I certainly can't speak for the whole of government as an official with Natural Resources Canada, I am aware of efforts by colleagues in Employment and Social Development Canada to support aboriginal training and development, and some of that is targeted toward mining.
In the Ring of Fire region, there have been a number of programs supported by Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada and the Federal Economic Development Initiative for Northern Ontario.
At Natural Resources Canada we have focused more on natural resources literacy, so that indigenous people know what to expect when the geologist shows up, what it means and what the opportunities are. We've produced a number of tools and partnered with a number of aboriginal organizations across the country to support that, and that work has been very well received.
