Finance committee  Absolutely. It's interesting that you mention that, because Sean Boyd, president and CEO of one of our member companies, gave a lunch talk at the Northern Lights Conference today and announced an additional $5 million in training from his company, specifically targeted towards i

Finance committee  MAC has a policy called resource revenue sharing that has been endorsed by our board. It supports a redirection of royalties from mine sites from governments to the communities that are proximate to those sites. Again, I'd be happy to share that policy with the committee for cons

Finance committee  Absolutely. Thank you for the question. It's always a pleasure to be back. I think a bit of context is important in order to answer that question. Canada is the second-largest land mass in the world. That's something we can take for granted. North of 60 within Canada is 3.4 mi

Finance committee  It's disconcerting to think about what's under the table.

Finance committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair, committee members, clerk and fellow witnesses. For the record, my name is Brendan Marshall. I am vice-president of economic and northern affairs for the Mining Association of Canada. Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this important consultatio

Finance committee  I think, to make a long story short, there is tremendous potential, and while infrastructure is a barrier, it's most certainly not the only one. I think one of the barriers is giving northerners a greater level of autonomy to make decisions on what they want for their own future

Finance committee  I'm only aware of one SMR globally that is currently deployed. It's in northern Russia. It's on a barge floating on the water. It has a cable that moves to an industrial facility. Other than that, this is very much a cutting-edge, directional technological movement at this time

Finance committee  Yes, we were on the panel together, Kim. We used to be in a NIMBY space and then that moved to BANANA: build absolutely nothing anywhere near anything. MAC underscores again, unequivocally, we are agnostic about fuel type. We do not discriminate on the products extracted from th

Finance committee  To make a long story short, companies don't invest where they don't have confidence they can put in a project. If they have confidence they can put in a project, they don't invest where they don't think they can make money off building or operating one. There are a number of po

Finance committee  I'm Brendan Marshall, vice-president, economic and northern affairs. I used to work for an MP so I appreciate the work that you do. Sometimes this can be a misunderstood place, but rest assured, I think the work that you're doing is very important for our country. Thank you fo

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  It's 200% to 250%.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  I'm going to build off that question and the response that Dominique offered. I'm going to do it by telling a little bit of a story. In my recommendation, I referenced AIDEA because you asked what the government could be doing differently. AIDEA is the Alaska Industrial Developm
