Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We are all quite concerned to ensure that our environment remains pristine, as some people call it, but I guess to remain clean and friendly for our future generations. Of course, we are also concerned that the people that are developing our resources here pay their fair share to ensure that the environment remains in good health, and that it returns to the way it did before mining development occurs, once they are finished. So my question is for the Minister responsible for Resources, Wildlife, and Economic Development. I would like to know if we have legislation, regulations, or a policy in place which ensures that all new mines will set aside adequate resources to reclaim the areas they are developing.
