Yes.
We saw spills in the U.S.A. last year, and Brazil as well.
What are the solutions? What could be the government role? In our opinion, there are probably at least three main areas where government could help to reduce those risks or prevent those risks.
The first one is possibly to support a research program for what we would call responsible consumption. Raise public awareness about other options that Canadians have to try to have positive impacts on reducing at the source those risks by promoting responsible consumption options. Similar to what we've done in the climate change debate over the last decade or so, we think we also need to think about the responsible consumption of metals and promote that Canada-wide.
Second, financial securities are very important. Governments, including the federal government, have a major role in ensuring that site cleanup remediation financial securities are in place before mines open to make sure we have the money in place in case the company goes bankrupt or in case the company is not any longer able to clean up those sites.
Linked with financial securities is what we would call a national security pool for spills. That's a major gap right now in current regulations and policies. We see it in the gas and oil industry. There are examples we could look at. In the mining industry, there is a need for a national security pool for spills.
