Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Inspections at the Royal Oak Mine are done, at least, once every four weeks. The last inspection at this mine was on February 15, 16 and 17 and the area where the accident occurred was inspected at that time. I am told that a routine inspection by the mine safety division would not have revealed the problem in this area, since the inspection of a drop point does not indicate how much waste rock is present with respect to the accident.
