VANCOUVER\u2014British Columbia’s mines minister is clarifying his position on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s remarks about Canada’s natural-resource economy.<\/p>\n

Bill Bennett says the meaning behind his comment was not that Trudeau might come to regret remarks he made in a speech, but that the media may have misquoted the prime minister.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland last week, Trudeau said his predecessor wanted Canada to be known for its resources, but he wants it known for its resourcefulness.<\/p>\n

Bennett had originally said he has personally regretted some of the things he has said in the past and perhaps that would be the case for Trudeau in this situation.<\/p>\n

The minister also said Canada’s resource sector is one of the most technologically advanced in the world and that its workers are well trained and well educated.<\/p>\n

Bennett was speaking with reporters at a provincial mineral-exploration conference in Vancouver.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
