Refine by MP, party, committee, province, or result type.
Industry committee I'm glad to see the traditions are still alive, touting your riding and your jurisdiction and taking shots in your question at other members in a friendly kind of way. Nonetheless, Mr. Lemire, let me be pointed in my response, given the time constraints. There's no question that

Industry committee Jöel, don't cut me off.

Industry committee I'm sorry, Mr. Lemire.

Industry committee It's a happy gavel.

Industry committee The triggering in the way you initially framed it, Daniel, got me all fired up. Of course, I think what you and I would be concerned about is provincial strategies evolving in the absence of the federal one, and forcing jurisdictions like the United States to come specifically to

Industry committee I've written extensively about it, Michael. I want to keep this discussion going without some of the partisanship that sometimes infects conversations like today's, because they're important. A heads-up would have been good, and I have a couple of quick points there. I still am

Industry committee In general terms, Nathaniel, as I said earlier—and this is a metaphor—it's singing from the same songbook, understanding and respecting what each jurisdictions holds near and dear to them and what the value proposition is. I mentioned that Ontario's strategy is bold, because we h

Industry committee Maybe somebody from the Conservative Party could give Daniel a couple of extra minutes. That was a great question and it's pertinent—

Industry committee Thanks, Michael. We're not perfect at it; we're barely good. It's still on a project-to-project basis. I give full credit where credit's due. Le Plan Nord du gouvernement du Québec established a template, the James Bay Agreement, which is obviously a world-class document that, g

Industry committee Daniel, this is a really important question that you ask, and a friendly “hello” as a fellow Mantarian. You could appreciate, as my neighbour out there in Kenora, it's great to have a question from you. Manitoba supplies 100% of Canada's cesium, lithium and tantalum. They're ho

Industry committee Thank you for the question. We learned from the Plan Nord in Quebec. There's also the Centre d'excellence sur les métaux critiques et stratégiques Éléments08. I believe it's a project of the CEGEP in your region, Abitibi‑Témiscamingue. These are things that we think have to b

Industry committee You know, I just finished a conversation with the folks at Wyloo, who obviously successfully...or as it will be announced—it's a matter of public information—a considerable stake in the Ring of Fire. It's the billion-dollar question, not the million-dollar question. I spent most

Industry committee For the first answer, I go back to my opening comment. Who doesn't want to be part of the single biggest environmental policy that any jurisdiction could advance the world over? That's a new and refreshing way to think about this. There is no green economy without mining. That's

Industry committee My bad.
March 22nd, 2022Committee meeting
Greg Rickford
Industry committee A lot of this has to be driven by the private sector. My own approach here, as I mentioned in my prepared remarks—or my unprepared remarks, because I didn't really read from the speech—is to have a regulatory environment that supports and facilitates that. We want to be careful
