Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The mine is continuing to operate, as I understand, today under the authority of the receiver that was appointed by the courts and the receiver will look at ways in which to deal with the operations at Giant Mine for instance, whether or not the private sector may pick up the property and continue to operate it. There are, I am sure, a number of possibilities that could happen and the receiver, I believe, is working on that . The federal government has announced it is interested and supportive in looking at options as well and is working with the receiver to look at the variables. It is not our intention as a government to put money into the operation at Giant Mine at this time. Thank you.
