Thank you, Mr. Speaker. At 6:20 pm March 14, there was a report that the tailings pond solution from Giant Mine seemed to be spilling. It was reported to our spill line, which my department administers. At 6:26 pm the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada was contacted as they have jurisdiction in this area. Since the Giant Mine property is on territorial lands, they are responsible to monitor and administer the spills. The spill covered approximately 30 by 50 metres. Since it was reported to Indian and Northern Affairs, they immediately responded to the spill. Today the spill which occurred is frozen and it has been removed and placed in the tailings pond. The situation is being monitored by Indian and Northern Affairs, but the clean-up has been completed. Thank you.
