Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Government of the Northwest Territories may potentially end up with the liability for cleaning up the surface lands on which the

mine is situated. The liability would be in the neighbourhood of $8 million to $10 million, which we would be quite prepared to assume if we do not get any financial assistance from the private sector to address and there is no financial assistance coming forth from Royal Oak or any of the other parties involved in this.

We are prepared to discuss with the representatives of the consortium, if there is such a consortium, that the Member has mentioned to discuss the merits of a proposal that they may be developing and it would be premature to suggest that the financial assistance would be provided. Thank you.
