International Trade committee  Certainly, as you say, we see that there is ever-increasing demand for these kinds of minerals with that switch to the lower-carbon energy sources. Jeff, can you elaborate a bit more on the complexity of critical mineral exploration development?

International Trade committee  Thank you. Certainly Canadian mining companies are operating in extremely complex environments around the world. I'll pass it over to Jeff Killeen, my colleague, to elaborate.

International Trade committee  Yes, I can confirm that on behalf of PDAC.

International Trade committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. Good afternoon, Chair and committee members. Thank you for inviting PDAC to appear today on behalf of Canada's mineral exploration industry. I first want to acknowledge that I come to you from Toronto, on the traditional lands of the Huron, the Chippew

Natural Resources committee  Good afternoon. Thank you, Mr. Chair and committee members. Thank you for inviting me and my colleague, Jeff Killeen, to appear today on behalf of Canada's mineral exploration and development industry. First, I acknowledge that I come to you today from Toronto on the traditiona

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  I think at this juncture in time there have been no complaints that have been brought forward to the CORE. At this point we are looking forward, and we are looking for this process to be under way, and we don't know that the CORE is effective or isn't effective at this point. I

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Given that PDAC represents mostly the exploration sector and that my colleagues at MAC represent the operators, I would respectfully pass that question along to Pierre.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair and committee members, for the opportunity to speak today. My colleague, Jeff Killeen, is with me. He is the director of policy and programs at PDAC. With over 7,200 members around the world, PDAC is the leading voice of the mineral exploration and develop

Natural Resources committee  On the processing and manufacturing, I really don't think it's a good use of our limited time here for me to speak to that. I think I'm going to pass it over to Mr. London, if you're okay with that.

Natural Resources committee  I think as has been evidenced in most of the conversation today, it's clear that Canada has the minerals. We know they're here. We've found the easy stuff, and now what's left are the more challenging things to find. They're at depth. They're more remote. Of course, with the cr

Natural Resources committee  I'm going to pass this question on to my colleague, Jeff Killeen, our director of policy and programs, who is here with us today.

Natural Resources committee  You know, as I think was referenced in a couple of the presentations before mine, Canada is a vast country and our resources are spread out across the country, so it's not possible to sit here and cherry-pick and indicate a particular area. I think that, in and of itself, speaks

Natural Resources committee  It will be me.

Natural Resources committee  Good afternoon, Chair and committee members. I'm Lisa McDonald, executive director of the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada. I thank you for the opportunity to speak to the committee today. As the leading voice of the mineral exploration and development sector in

Finance committee  Sure. I'll just take a moment to point out that people don't necessarily make the connection that minerals are absolutely fundamental to the transition to a low-carbon economy. We cannot have renewable energy, we cannot have clean tech, we cannot have a green economy without the
