Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'm not sure off the top of my head whether we have a provision for an environmental analyst. I will look into that; I can't remember, quite frankly. I know that the department is taking a great deal more interest in environmental issues as they relate to exploration because it is becoming very high profile and we need to be much more proactive in making sure that the mining industry meets the requirements of the different types of panels that are before us, like the EARP panel that is currently reviewing the BHP application. This is done in a spirit of cooperation in trying to expedite timely decision-making on the issues surrounding the development of the industry as it relates to the environment. Thank you.
