Mr. Speaker, most of the land that has been explored and staked is federal land. It is, for the most part, the federal government who has the rights over those lands and it is mostly federal environmental regulations that govern the activities. What a federal law requires is that companies are obliged to regulate themselves in accordance with that. The federal government makes sure that activities don't take place unless they comply with present environmental regulations. Thank you.
