“This document was created following the 2015 Energy and Mines Ministers’ Conference (EMMC) in response to a mandate from federal, provincial and territorial Ministers of energy and mines, who identified the need to develop a shared approach to improving public confidence in energy and mineral development. The purpose of this compendium is to highlight and share positive approaches to building public confidence. Developed by the federal, provincial and territorial governments, it identifies initiatives that address common themes related to public confidence in the mineral and energy sectors, as well as lessons for energy and mineral development”--Introduction, p.1.
