Thank you, Mr. Chairman. One of the other concerns I had Mr. Chairman was in the whole area of the environmental issue of Giant Mine and the arsenic contamination and arsenic stored underground and the potential it has in the future for cleaning the mine up when it is mothballed. Has the Minister checked to ensure that this government will not be held liable, in any way, for that clean-up in allowing this government giving monies to a mine at this time? Would it bind us legally by making such a grant available to any developer so that when we do go forth, say in a call for an environmental assessment and asking for a clean-up, we are not caught as a lender and also as an advocate to do the clean-up?
