Madam Speaker, I have two petitions to table.
The first states that Canada's mining industry is a mainstay of employment in over 150 communities across Canada, an important contributor to Canada's gross domestic product in total exports and a cornerstone of our economic future.
Therefore, the petitioners call on Parliament to take action that will increase employment in this sector, promote exploration and rebuild Canada's mineral reserves, sustain mining communities and keep mining in Canada.
I concur with this petition.
