About the Coalition Québec meilleure mine
Founded in 2008, the Coalition Québec meilleure mine (QMM) now brings together 45 organizations representing more than 250,000 people from all regions of Quebec. The coalition includes citizen groups, environmental organizations, unions, university research groups, and medical associations. For 18 years, the QMM Coalition has been at the heart of debates affecting the mining sector and has helped raise awareness among public decision-makers and a broad cross-section of Quebec society about mining issues. The QMM Coalition has made a positive contribution to redefining public policy in the mining sector, particularly the Mining Act, mining royalties, financial guarantees for restoration, environmental oversight, social license, "territories incompatible with mining activity" (TIAM), as well as Quebec's positions on the uranium and asbestos mineral sectors, and more recently on so-called critical and strategic minerals. Since 2008, coalition members have participated in some 20 environmental assessments for mining projects in Quebec, including a dozen by the Bureau d'audiences publiques sur l'environnement (BAPE) and a dozen before the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (IAAC). Independent from government and industry and non-partisan, the QMM Coalition has been an active member of the Quebec Minister of Mines' Advisory Committee since 2014.
