Okay, and thank you.
Thank you all for coming here today.
As you pointed out at the start of your presentation, many mining projects are in close proximity to indigenous communities, and in Minister Carr's mandate letter, the Prime Minister states:
No relationship is more important to me and to Canada than the one with Indigenous Peoples. It is time for a renewed, nation-to-nation relationship with Indigenous Peoples, based on recognition of rights, respect, co-operation, and partnership.
I applaud the Prime Minister on this, and we've been waiting to see examples of this new approach. With that in mind, has the 20-year-old minerals and metal policy been updated by the Government of Canada to reflect this new approach, and if not, when can we expect to have that update completed?
