Mr. Speaker, there is immediate work that was undertaken by an official in Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development, Graham Dargo, along with officials from Education, Culture and Employment dealing with the employees who were given layoff notices at the end of the year. That was a specific initiative that we undertook. This initiative, at the senior management level was started in specific response to Miramar. We have on this group, a working group that is set up with the City of Yellowknife, the union, the company, and federal officials to look at ways in which we can assist that specific mine and deal with the difficulties as I outlined earlier in my statement. The commitment to Members here is that we will, on a daily basis if necessary, on a weekly basis, provide information on the developments and decisions and status of discussions that are held by the different partners in that initiative. Thank you.
