Thank you, Madam Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources. On November 24, in a question I raised to her regarding initiatives the government was undertaking since March of 1993, she responded, "We will try, in the next week, to present a paper on mining and we will try to draw in that information." She also said later on, "Considerable work has been done on it." Yesterday, almost three weeks later, the Minister tabled, Towards an NWT Mineral Strategy. Although it is not a strategy, it outlines the items that are required in a strategy. Since I am still concerned how the government is going to ensure that northern interests are protected for jobs, business opportunities and from environmental damage as a result of mining initiatives, when will her department table an NWT mining strategy which outlines the government's position on mining?
