Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The particular concern raised by the Member comes under the Environmental Protection Act. It was raised to me as a concern by Members from Yellowknife. I chaired a meeting that all the Members of Yellowknife attended, as well as officials of a mine here in Yellowknife and a number of the other department groups in the government. We had, I believe, a full-length discussion as to how these concerns that are being raised will be addressed.
The department officials are continuing to meet and try to come up with an agreement because it is the department that continues to monitor the quality of air that surrounds the city. Discussions are still going on between mine officials and department staff who are in environmental protection. If we are not able to come up with an agreement on the air quality, the guidelines that we have are exactly what the title states; they are guidelines, and are not enforceable. If we're not able to come to an agreement, we will consider making them regulations. At the present time, I believe that department staff and mine officials are still in the midst of discussions. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
