Mr. Speaker, I am very happy to have this question on the eve of what will be next week National Mining Week in Canada.
The Canadian mining industry is today releasing a document entitled “Global Climate Change—Taking Action”. It recognizes climate change as not just a challenge but also an opportunity. It partners with environmental organizations like the Pembina Institute and Stratos in constructive action. It shows that the Canadian mining industry this year will be more than 4% below its 1990 levels in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, and it promises to do more.
