Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Natural Resources.
In its throne speech, the government said “To seize the opportunities and meet the challenges of a new global economy, we must work together in the Canadian way and concentrate on what matters most to Canadians. To that end, we must achieve technological progress that will increase productivity. We know that the natural resources sector is a pillar of the Canadian economy”.
Can the minister tell us what is currently being done to promote state of the art technologies in the mining industry?
