Mr. Speaker, the Government of the NWT is involved with a case concerning the Daishowa pulp mill. The issue in that case is whether or not a proper environmental assessment review was conducted by the Province of Alberta before the permission was given to proceed with that mill.

Mr. Speaker, the status of that action is that the court hearing that case reserved the next step in the proceedings pending the Oldman Dam case, which touched on similar issues. Mr. Speaker, the Oldman Dam case was recently concluded in the Supreme Court of Canada and therefore the way will now be clear to address the issue in the Daishowa matter, but I would say, Mr. Speaker, that my understanding is that it is not likely to resume until sometime hence. Even with the Oldman Dam case being concluded, we may have to wait some number of months before the Daishowa matter proceeds to the next stage. Mr. Speaker, that is the only litigation that I am aware of that our government is involved in relating to pulp mill issues. Thank you.
