Thank you, Mr. Speaker. While we are concerned with fiscal, financial and directional issues in the territories, other things are happening to us from outside our territory. I would like to direct a question to the Minister of Renewable Resources. Mr. Speaker, within the past couple of weeks there have been numerous articles in the newspapers and from I.T.V. News from Alberta about serious pollution charges that have been laid against the former Proctor Gamble pulp mill located in Grande Prairie. Charges have been laid under the Clean Water Act. I understand that the plant is now under new ownership or soon will be under the ownership of a firm called Warehouser. This plant is alleged to have violated several terms of its licence and I believe that there are 165 charges, some of which are related to pollution released by the plant into the Wapiti River and into our northern watershed. I would like to ask the Minister if he is aware of these charges being laid against the operators of that pulp mill?
