Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The department officials do keep track of the court decisions that impact on issues of environment, court cases that arise out of actions taken in jurisdictions such as British Columbia, Ontario and Alberta. When these decisions come out of the courts, we have discussions with the Department of Justice to get advice on the implications and to begin drafting, for the respective Ministers' potential response positions to take in regard to the implications that arise out of those decisions. We do keep track of them. We are not always in the position to give a definitive response because in some cases the implications are somewhat varied and sometimes are appealed. Thank you.
