Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to address my question to the honourable Mr. Kakfwi, in relationship to my statement earlier today on the Giant Mine situation where I referenced the fact that I have tried to get a group of people together. A number of business people are interested, as well as the executive of CAW of Giant Mine in looking at the possibility of a consortium that would, down the road, be able to take over the operation of Giant Mine. This naturally would be of benefit to all, especially here in the north, if it is northern controlled, northern business people, northern employees. I wonder if the Minister could tell us, in relationship to that, what his discussions have been with the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs in regard to the continued operation of Giant Mine.
