This is something we already know! But we are even prouder when external organizations recognize our good practices and commitment to communities and workers in such a clear way. This shows, once again, that Quebecers can trust their mining industry which contributes to economic development, but also does so in compliance with the strictest standards and in a highly responsible way. \u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00ab Congratulations to the winners and finalists for their genuine commitment to the development of a modern, innovative and future-focused industry. The challenges involved in ensuring the long-term viability of Qu\u00e9bec\u2019s mining industry are real, but we can rely on companies and workers with the motivation to make this happen, and among other things to supply the minerals needed for the upcoming energy transition and electrification of the transport system.
