Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the deregulation to support business is important because we need economic growth, but we also need to check and balance that the Department of the Environment and the Department of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development gives us. I hope that the Minister continues to maintain a vigilant outlook on that to make sure that both do not cross. My followup question would be, this past May, five Canadian aboriginal peoples organizations, the Dene Nation, the Council for Yukon First Nations, the Metis Nation of the Northwest Territories, the Inuit Circumpolar Conference, and the Inuit Tapirisat of Canada, formed a committee to address the issue of persistent organic pollutants. I am wondering if the Minister has met with that group?
