Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I don't believe that we're adding an environmentalist to the staff complement. I think what we're doing, which we haven't done in the past, is taking a much more active interest in the environmental aspects of the industry, if I'm correct. And we're trying to assist the mining industry and others in moving forward with their applications to develop different mines and different infrastructure. We're trying to assist them so that we can move quickly to meet the requirements of the environmental review-type panels that the industry has to face. Certainly, it isn't our intent to add to the growing environmental groups, as there are enough of them out there. Thank you.
