Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Department of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources has worked with the mining industry to alert them to the fact that prior to any projects being initiated in advance, we require an effort on the part of the government, with the mining industry taking the lead, to negotiate with affected regions and communities a package that would demonstrate realistic benefits in terms of jobs, training and economic spin-offs that would be of benefit directly and indirectly. That is one initiative we work with.
