Thank you, Mr. Chair. I want to make a point for the record about why I abstained from the last motion and I plan to abstain again. This report on the Mineral Resources Act landed on my desk today, still warm from the photocopier, 2 centimetres thick. I haven't had an opportunity to go through it, and I am not part of this committee, so I haven't been in the discussions of the act itself and the development and modification of it. The clause-by-clause review was held on the same evening as the clause-by-clause review for the Corrections Act.

The point that I want to make is that there is very limited communication between the Economic Development and Environment Committee and Members who are not on that committee about the development of this bill. I don't feel that I have the information available to make informed decisions about it, and so I am not going to either support or oppose this motion. Thank you.
