Thank you, Mr. Chair. Some of this was touched on just in our last motion here. I won't elaborate too much. I think this goes to show that there is still a continued desire for public to understand exactly what contributions mining makes to the Northwest Territories in its various forms. There is this desire for more transparency in that regard. We see here in this recommendation and we are encouraging the government to use best practices. Some of the models that we do see are some of the ones that have been named in this recommendation.

Frankly, these are ones that the mining industry generally supports. The Mining Association of Canada, a number of their members already undertake these initiatives on their own volition. We are simply asking our government to use what is considered to be some of the best practices with regards to models of reporting and apply them to the Northwest Territories. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
