Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I understand that the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs has certainly expressed its interest in handling the mine on a maintenance basis but not on a reclamation basis. They certainly are not committing any funds to that which is contrary to what information I had received at an earlier time. Naturally, any group taking over this particular mine would be very concerned about that end. Could the Minister tell us exactly what this government's stand is and what the federal government's stand is with regard to the environmental problem. Will they accept the responsibility for that?
