Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to present a petition on behalf of a number of residents of Logan Lake and a number of surrounding communities that point out that Canada's mining industry is the mainstay of employment in over 150 communities across Canada.
They point out that the Canadian Mineral Industry Federation has proposed a 10-point plan of action to be addressed by both the mineral industry and the Government of Canada to keep mining in Canada.
Therefore, they call upon Parliament to take action that will generate employment in the mining sector, promote exploration, rebuild Canada's mineral reserves, sustain mining communities and keep mining in Canada.
