Minerals Development Bill 2014: Discussion

9:30 am

Mr. Brian Breslin:

I will add to that that the definition of minerals in the interpretation part of the Bill is very broad in scope. It is better to describe minerals as to what they are not. It is any substance or any agricultural land that is not turf, peat, stone, sand, gravel, or clay. Other than that there is a broad scope of materials that fit within the definition. The definition in the interpretation section is more important.
