Mining
March 07, 2011

Question in the House:
Mr. Richard Harris (Cariboo—Prince George, CPC): Mr. Speaker, Conservative Party members are aware that mining is at the heart of many rural communities in Canada, and provides stable, well-paying jobs to hundreds of thousands of Canadians.
While the opposition spends more time criticizing Canada's mining activities around the world, in fact Canada's expertise is sought to help promote mining and complete mining in a safe and responsible way.
Can the parliamentary secretary tell the House how our Conservative government is helping to support thousands of jobs across Canada in the mining sector?
