Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Department of Renewable Resources -- and I don't have the precise numbers -- has a large number of people involved in environmental matters and they have them because there is a concern that industrial development has to be balanced and it could have an impact on wildlife. So, what I would like to ask the Minister is, what impact can wildlife have on the industry? Since you now want to have your own, are you afraid of moose knocking over people or bears killing people? What is the purpose of you having an environmental person in your department? So that the mining industry will be protected from these animals?
