Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the federal government has recently lost a request to stay a ruling on the

environmental reviews that could affect developments of mines in the north and Nunavut, including the diamond mines. I guess, the federal Court of Appeal ruled on November 23rd that the Sun Pine decision, which environmentalists call one of their biggest legal victories, will stand until it is appealed next year. I am wondering, has the Minister for RWED or his department reviewed this serious development? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
