Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question I would like to direct to the Minister responsible for the environment. Mr. Speaker, quite a few years ago, in the late 1970s, a Soviet research satellite called Cosmos 954 lost its orbit, crashed and burned in the atmosphere, but parts survived the descent into the atmosphere, Mr. Speaker, in the early morning of 1978 or 1979 from a west/east direction into the Thelon area. There was a massive clean up after that by the Canadian government to pick up all those pieces because it was nuclear powered and there was some radio activity associated with it. Everything which I have been able to ascertain from that clean up, Mr. Speaker, indicated it was fairly thorough in that no pieces were left. However, in recent weeks and months stories have been surfacing about large chunks of this reactor still in some lakes. I would like to ask the Minister of Renewable Resources whether his department is aware of any claims that parts are still found in the crash path of that satellite?
