All right. Hopefully I'll have the whole question period to myself, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, during PDAC, the Minister of ITI announced the North of 60 mining incentive program, and I'm curious the -- or collaboration between the two territories, sorry. Can the Minister bring the House up to speed as to what success or groundwork in collaboration with Canada have we received. Thank you.

Caitlin Cleveland

Caitlin Cleveland Kam Lake

Thank you so much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this program was just recently announced -- the Member is right -- when we were at PDAC, and it's an investment from CanNor, $460,000 between the three territories, to invest in essentially a promotional campaign to attract investment to the three territories specific to critical mineral mining. Thank you.

Question 651-20(1): Investment in Promotional Campaign for Critical Mineral Mining
Oral Questions

Robert Hawkins

Robert Hawkins Yellowknife Centre

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, is it targeting specifically critical minerals? Is it targeting a specific sector in the mining industry? And where should we see sort of some dynamic results and when should we see them? Thank you.

Question 651-20(1): Investment in Promotional Campaign for Critical Mineral Mining
Oral Questions

Caitlin Cleveland

Caitlin Cleveland Kam Lake

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, overall the initiative is focused on critical minerals and then from there, on mineral resource development and, really, investment attraction in the territory. But our focus is certainly these days on critical minerals given that's where the world is really turning its attention these days. This program is certainly just in its infancy and over our time, we will certainly continue to track, as we already do, exploration in it the territories, projects moving forward in the territories and, of course, GDP from our mineral projects. Thank you.
