Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, I have a question I would like to direct to the Minister responsible for mine safety. This morning, I was advised that there was an incident involving the safety of miners at the Royal Oak Mine here in Yellowknife. Many of my constituents work in that mine and I'm quite concerned about what occurred there. Apparently, ambulances were called and it had something to do with an incident underground.

I would like to ask the Minister if he would be able to advise this House and myself, through you, what had occurred there?
