2002 at the request of Canadian Mines Ministers that a multi-stakeholder advisory

of partnerships in the implementation of remediation programs across Canada.
The Advisory Committee takes direction from Mines Ministers and reports back

Ministers at their annual conference;

by the Initiative for internal/external distribution;
Assisting in technology transfer activities;

as well as outside experts (i.e., contractors), is copied to the Secretariat.
