Mr. Speaker, in regard to Royal Oak Mines or Giant Mines, we had a meeting with them yesterday, along with the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment. They have also

expressed a need for some cooperation on our part to help them bridge the period of difficulty they are experiencing because of the drop in gold prices. They have made some suggestions on ways in which we could help them bridge this period of difficulty. There are areas that are a specific responsibility of the federal government, things like reclamation, environmental issues, and the way in which the arsenic issue should be approached. Those are being directed to the federal government. We have made sure that we have given assurance to Royal Oak representatives that the same approach we have taken to dealing with Miramar will be taken with them and try to take a cooperative, multiparty approach, so that everyone involved will have plenty of time to explore ways in which they can help in these rather difficult times for the company. Thank you.
