Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to both of you for taking the time to be here to meet with us today.
I represent a rural Alberta riding, so I am keenly aware of the importance of Canada's responsible natural resources development and all the ways in which it provides jobs and prosperity that benefit every Canadian and every community across Canada.
I'll ask my first question specifically about Saskatchewan, and then a more general one that I'd invite each of you to talk about in turn. It's about policies and best practices.
Pamela, I wouldn't mind if you could elaborate a bit on the specifics about Saskatchewan's policy framework that makes it the most competitive attractive investment environment for mining and for mining development.
Would either of you like to talk about Canada in the global context and what it is about our standards and the performance in the mining sector that makes us the best in the world?
