S pring 2020 27 PHOTOS: (LEFT) AME; (CENTRE) PDAC COMMITTEE CONNECTIONS Peters says, "We have found situations that arise with B.C. explorers and their expenditures that may be different from the rest of the country. Thus, advocacy efforts need to be shared between AME and the PDAC. For example, both AME and PDAC have advocated for proper guidelines around certain 'grey areas' in the CEE definitions. This helped the CRA issue updated CEE guidelines which has provided both AME and PDAC members with helpful clarification on qualifying exploration expenditures." PDAC's position is explained by its director, policy and programs, Jeff Killeen. He notes that PDAC employs a broad approach to advocacy, producing unbiased, evidence-based research that supports its positions and engages directly with political and bureaucratic stakeholders who guide legislative and administrative processes. Killeen says, "On behalf of our members, we respond to public consultations that affect the mineral industry with formal written submissions and recommendations. Our apolitical approach ensures continuity in PDAC messaging and that our recommendations are highly actionable." Stevens says that "By working together at the committee and staff level, AME and PDAC are able to combine our strengths and provide a strong voice for the mineral exploration and development industry around policy and legislation and affect our industry in British Columbia and across Canada."
