Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a return to a question asked by Mrs. Marie-Jewell on February 12, regarding legal action against Alberta pulp mills; and one more. Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Marie-Jewell asked about the time frame of the proceedings in the Daishowa litigation.
This is an application for mandamus to force the federal government to conduct an environmental assessment of those areas of the project which impact on matters within federal jurisdiction. The matter was put on hold pending a decision in the Oldman Dam litigation. The Daishowa case will now proceed unless there can be a resolution of it by agreement. The federal court has called for a telephone conference to include all parties involved. It is scheduled for the end of the month. After that, we will have a more clear idea of the time frame involved.
