Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I think maybe I should clear up some confusion; and perhaps I'm the instrument of the confusion. I think it should be stated publicly that clearly, there is interdepartmental cooperation between Renewable Resources and EM&PR now -- perhaps it wasn't there before, but there is now -- as it relates to stating our positions. Renewable Resources, as you know, does have the lead in providing the position of the government at these environmental review panel hearings. We are working very, very closely with them in developing our position to make sure it is consistent with the political direction given by the Cabinet. I should say that publicly.

In the long-term -- and I believe I have stated this in the House and others have stated it -- we are currently looking at the possibility of a sustainable development department as part of our cost-saving exercises and also as part of trying to reach a common position on issues of development. In an ideal world, I would like to think that at the end of the summer that we would be in a position to present to whoever is here in the new Assembly the possible amalgamation of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources, Economic Development and Renewable Resources. That is being worked on. I think it is fair to say that.

So, there is a unified approach between the two departments. The Standing Committee on Finance also alluded to this issue so I think it is important that I state this today so there is no confusion now as to what this government's position is. Any presentation made to an ERP panel would be done in sync and harmony with Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources, and it is my understanding that the Standing Committee on Finance has actually encouraged that and I believe has made some comments to that effect.

Regarding hydro development, I agree with the honourable Member that it is an area we have to take a hard look at. It will be a first, in terms of the size and the significance of it. I want to assure him that Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources and the Department of Economic Development and Tourism, which I am responsible for, are watching and participating in this development in as an aggressive manner as possible because we understand that there is a potential for future hydro development once this first one takes place. Thank you.
