Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure this morning to present two petitions. The first one is from residents of my riding of Nickel Belt. It concerns high-grade mining. Some miners, not all, will mine high-grade ore, leaving behind the lower grade ore. Then once the high-grade ore has been mined it is not profitable to go back and get the low-grade ore.
The petitioners are calling on the House of Commons to establish legislation enforcing guidelines that guard against unchecked and irresponsible high-grade mining.
