Natural Resources committee In fairness, you asked a question about the Ontario government. The Ontario government has a program right now for environmental control on the sites. It's actually a very good one, and they've mandated us to follow it, and we're doing that. I think it's done at a very high level

Natural Resources committee Well, they come around and they check it on a regular basis.
February 16th, 2012Committee meeting

Natural Resources committee Mr. Chairman, are we allowed to ask any questions?
February 16th, 2012Committee meeting
Kirk McKinnon
Natural Resources committee I just have one. I will address it to Mr. Allen and Mr. McGuinty. I proposed today that you look at the Ring of Fire on a special case basis and look at ramped-up flowthrough funding, say for a period of three years to five years. I think it would stimulate significant interest
February 16th, 2012Committee meeting
Kirk McKinnon
Natural Resources committee No, I mean an increased flowthrough. It could be doubled specifically, say, for the Ring of Fire, for a specific period of time.

Kirk McKinnon
Natural Resources committee We're certainly not there yet.
February 16th, 2012Committee meeting
Kirk McKinnon
Natural Resources committee I'd like to speak to that. The GIS just did an absolutely terrific survey in conjunction with the Ontario government—a gravity survey—and for us it has been a catalyst in our exploration efforts, so kudos to both the federal and the provincial governments for that. The upsetting
February 16th, 2012Committee meeting
Kirk McKinnon
Natural Resources committee We haven't made the kind of discovery they have. I would say to you that, just on the drilling process, we hired people on the drill crews. We hire them to work in the camps and things of that nature on a very regular basis. That's part of our agreement. I would like to make thi
