Mahsi, Madam Speaker. There is an outstanding complaint filed lawfully through the Environmental Rights Act. It has been outstanding for almost three years now. The Minister has a legal and perhaps a moral responsibility to act on this situation. I think that the Minister should study the issue more thoroughly. He and his department should be aware of how much it would cost Royal Oak to reduce their emissions. Another radio report had Royal Oak claiming that it would cost over $5 million to clean up the emissions. This may be the cost of one option, but the Minister should be aware of a variety of options available to the company. Will the Minister commit to responding to this House, within the month, with estimates of the different options for reducing Giant Mine's sulphur dioxide and arsenic emissions? Thank you.
