Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for Miramichi for her hard work on the mining file. It is a critical industry, especially in my province of Saskatchewan, which has now become the mining leader in Canada.
In Canada's economic action plan our government extended the mineral exploration tax credit. This week The Province newspaper reported:
Canada remains the world's most popular headquarters for junior miners, thanks to incentives such as flow-through shares that let tax deductions for exploration be passed on to the investor.
It is due to the hard work of this government and the member for Miramichi that Canada will remain a global mining giant.
