Thank you to the member from Kitchener–Conestoga for his presentation—I have to admit I’ve never been so excited about the mining industry until what I’ve heard today.

Could you provide us an overview of the top five changes that we can anticipate and what the goal is, what we’re looking to achieve, with this act?

I’d like to thank the member from Nickel Belt for her eloquent speech about how this government’s changes deliberately exclude Indigenous people. Members on the Conservative benches, earlier this afternoon, seemed to suggest that the burden should be on Indigenous people to reach out if they have concerns.

My question to the member is, is this Conservative government moving backward in terms of reconciliation?

I want to thank the member for his very exciting information. I had no idea; we’ll have to discuss this further. But it was exciting to hear about the new innovation that utilizes modern mining techniques and solves environmental problems at the same time. Could the member please talk about how these changes will help with the Critical Minerals Strategy?
