Mr. Speaker, at present, as far as I know, there is no particular law, either federal or territorial, that requires Giant to change the mode of operation. These guidelines and regulations that we are introducing are the initial moves that we're making to address a problem of pollution with Giant Mines. We are trying to take a reasonable approach to an existing business that is providing a great deal of income and jobs to the city of Yellowknife. We are taking what we think is a reasonable approach to address a problem. To do anything more dramatic would do a disservice to the community and to the industry. We believe we're taking a proper approach in the way we're approaching the issue. Thank you.
