		<description><![CDATA[Despite current economic conditions, the Canadian mining industry is facing a substantial workforce shortage due largely to its aging workforce. According to the Mining Industry Human Resources Council (MiHR), 60 000 to 90 000 new workers will be needed to meet anticipated Canadian production targets through to 2017. We also know that the general public has a number of misperceptions of the mining industry that may deter new and non-traditional workers from exploring career opportunities in mining.

		<description><![CDATA[There has been a lot of debate about the proposed Bill C-300. Is this bill really our best hope? Or will it simply cause mining companies to leave Canada and set-up shop in less regulated regions? Who benefits from this bill being passed? And, who benefits from having these mining companies continue to operate as they are? The truths in all of this can be found within the underlying motivations of the parties involved.]]></description>
