Natural Resources committee  They're a present, actually. I used to live in Ottawa when I was student.

Natural Resources committee  That's a tricky one. The report that you mentioned said that there is no best way to do it. There needs to be some flexibility, depending on the local environment and the local economy, in terms of the best way to incent GHG reductions, which is what everybody wants to do in the

Natural Resources committee  Our reserves for both potash and uranium are significantly longer than that. I would hope that the policy framework allows us to continue to have mining. I would expect that we will continue to have more uranium mines, although we can certainly ramp up production on the existin

Natural Resources committee  Yes.

Natural Resources committee  If I may start, regulatory certainty, I think, also extends to not just one project when reviewed, but to ensuring the people who are supposed to be participating in the review participate in the review. I can't underscore how significant this piece of legislation, the Species a

Natural Resources committee  I think it's only intensive GHG if you don't capture the emissions, so that's the purpose of the CCS. Our companies don't include SaskPower. I would prefer to defer that question and invite you to invite SaskPower here to talk about the CCS sequestration and the economics of it

Natural Resources committee  I think when you look at the economics of moving towards any different type of power generation, whether it's renewable.... Ontario is suffering significantly right now. It's my understanding that they're energy poor in rural Ontario because people can't afford their electricity

Natural Resources committee  One of the factors that leads to Saskatchewan being named number one in Canada over the last two years by the Fraser Institute is that we have the world's highest grade uranium deposits and the world's highest grade potash deposits. Our geological framework gives us a natural adv

Natural Resources committee  I mentioned CCS because one of our members is involved in coal mining. The carbon capture and sequestration is actually through SaskPower, but because they use coal—if you're not mining coal, we wouldn't be into it. Boundary Dam was the first commercialized carbon capture and seq

Natural Resources committee  The graph at the bottom shows that in 2008 the price of the potash was $873 a tonne and that now it's $213 a metric tonne. I think that says it, in large part. PotashCorp has suspended operations at their brand new Picadilly mine in New Brunswick, where they had invested $2 bill

Natural Resources committee  Thank you very much, and good morning everyone. Thank you for the opportunity to be here. My name is Pam Schwann, and I am president of the Saskatchewan Mining Association. Our association consists of mining and exploration companies that are active in Saskatchewan, and the nam
