Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all our witnesses.
I want to get a point of clarification on the continuing harm aspect of it. If I understand right, the strict liability application is certainly applied to the non-reporting, or the steps to mislead. Does it apply as well to the section on error in reporting?

Okay.
Obviously your testimony today is greatly appreciated, but I would suspect, given that you said you've been highly involved in working with this legislation and working with the government on this, that this isn't the first time you've raised this particular aspect. I'm just curious; while I can appreciate what you're saying, without sort of going back and asking some more questions to understand any unintended consequences or the rationale behind this, have you heard any rationale for the continuing harm section and the consecutive offence option, versus the higher penalties that you're proposing? Have you heard any feedback on that?

Okay. So effectively, this submission is a fairly new discussion piece for the committee.
Mr. Pierre Gratton: Yes. That's right.
Mr. Ryan Leef: Thank you. I just wanted to get a sense of that.
I'll put this question to everybody. Do we know the order of magnitude of this legislation in terms of how many payments are made by these sectors over $100,000? I can appreciate that we're not going to have an exact figure, but what's the scale of this? What's the order of magnitude?

My understanding is that it will be broken down in that manner. As mentioned by I think everybody here, Canada has an excellent global reputation. I think the development of this legislation is effectively to be a key partner in transparency.
I guess I'm wondering—

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I have a note that says that payments of $100,000 or more would be reported, and that the amount is more in some categories. Is that accurate, or is the threshold a little bit higher in some categories, and if so, what categories would they be?

I was just confused about it being $100,000 or more generally and not $100,000 or more in some categories. Fair enough.
You mentioned there are strict liability offences and that “you shall not try to get around the rules”. Also, as you mentioned, there'd be different investigative means and mechanisms if there was evidence that somebody was trying to get around those payment rules. It draws back to the $100,000 category. I know you've talked about parity with other nations to make sure Canada is on an equal playing field and we have that consistency, which makes a lot of sense. Do we know the rationale around the $100,000? It would seem to me that in some locations $100,000, or just under that, could seem like a pretty significant payment, and in other areas it might not be that significant.
During Mr. Cameron's chairmanship, did they indicate how they initially came up with that $100,000?

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to all of our witnesses.
I have a few questions. I'll start with Mr. Neatby.
You highlighted in your presentation some interesting figures on the employment rates, with 229 direct high-paying jobs created in the Northwest Territories. What is the company's assessment of the capacity for those jobs locally?

I'm Yukon's member of Parliament. We face some of the same challenges that my colleague from the Western Arctic does concerning resource development prospects and the desire for local people to take advantage of local opportunities and position themselves for jobs in high-demand fields.
Without getting into specific detail, if you're not at liberty to talk about something—but you talk about the accommodation agreements with first nations and aboriginal groups in the community—do the accommodation agreements involve training programs and parameters, specific numbers of jobs, cash transfers? What kinds of things are built into these accommodation agreements, or at least into what you can talk about?

Are the skills required in this industry any different? Can the training that exists for other mining opportunities overlap, or are there some different specific skill sets that need to be trained for in rare earth mining? Is there going to be some longer-term overlap that could be beneficial in terms of diversifying a person's opportunity in the mining or resource extraction workforce beyond the employment that they can realize with your company?

We spend a lot of time on this study learning about rare earth metals themselves and haven't talked too much around the opportunities that they can potentially create for communities. You've listed here that Avalon has spent over $90 million on the project and $60 million alone went into the feasibility study, so there's $30 million outside of the feasibility study.
I don't need exact figures, just a rough idea, but what portion of those expenditures are right in the Northwest Territories itself?

That would involve a cross-section of employment in that area, helicopters and trucking.
How broad is the net when you're doing feasibility and your anticipation of when you go into production in terms of the ancillary services in that region?

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all of our witnesses today. You touched a little bit briefly on what some of the other countries are doing. Whoever is prepared to answer this question, I'll leave it open.
What is the rate that other countries are developing in this industry in comparison to the rate Canada is developing it?

You said that there's a race to supply going on. Considering that, and considering that the rough projection right now is that Canada has 50% of the rare earths outside of China, what does it do...? Is Canada in that big of a crunch? I guess what I'm trying to ask is this. You have other countries that have much smaller resources for rare earths. I can see them being in a real race to get to that first before Canada really exposes the market, but does that put us in a position where we really need to race to get to this? If we're not part of that race and we don't beat everybody to the punch, so to speak, what does that do to our industry? How does that impact us in the longer term, considering we do still have about 50% of the resources?
