Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, I have a question I would like to direct to the Minister responsible for heritage, I guess it could be, in the Northwest Territories. There has been a lot of concern about environmental clean-up in the last little while, there have been teams of people going about the north picking up garbage here and there, from old mine sites, exploration sites, old tourism areas, fishing camps and places like that.
But there has also been a concern expressed by the public that there are a lot of old mine sites that are of a historical nature, things that are part of our mining industry -- I think my colleague, Mr. Lewis, alluded to that last week -- that are of historical value for the tourism industry and just part of our history. I want to ask the Minister whether his department has made any effort to inventory old sites, be they whaling camps, mine or exploration sites, something of a historical nature, to determine their historical value and preservation requirements or destruction requirements, whatever. Has an inventory been taken?
