Mr. Speaker, it is the interest on the part of this government to maintain a close working relationship with the Alberta government. They are an adjacent jurisdiction with many common interests and concerns that are shared particularly between the two respective Premiers, there is a good working relationship and we have had occasion to meet with the Minister of the Environment for Alberta. There will probably be some meetings requested to seek assurance that in fact the proposed mill, as it stands now, in using the mechanism proposed, will not affect water quality in the Northwest Territories. This is the preliminary assurance given to us however, we will consider seeking a meeting with the government of Alberta to get further assurance that this, in fact, will be the case. Thank you.
