Natural Resources committee  As I mentioned, coordination is a big part of it. We work with a number of provincial organizations, be it Emissions Reductions Alberta, which was formerly CCEMC, or Alberta Innovates. We've had huge success with all of our partners in that regard. We will voice our strong suppor

Natural Resources committee  On a macro sector sense, I'm not, unfortunately. I apologize. Also, due more to the capital-intensive nature of mining operations than to the geography and the limitations of the geology, we'll see in situ projects.

Natural Resources committee  In order to raise investment for the capital-intensive innovation efforts that we find ourselves using, certainty of deployability is required for our operations. As producers, we need to be able to ensure that if we invest in clean technology, the policy and regulatory environme

Natural Resources committee  Further natural resource innovation will position industries like ours to remain competitive and to continue to create more long-term opportunities to grow a thriving and diversified Canadian low-carbon economy. The government has a role in championing innovation uptake to date a

Natural Resources committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the committee for the opportunity to appear before you today on a topic that's of particular interest to our company. We're excited to be here and we are unapologetically enthusiastic about what we've been able to accomplish in clean technol

Natural Resources committee  Our presentation today, which you should have in front of you, will outline our experience of leveraging innovation.
