Mr. Speaker, as we have said, it is not for us to take a position and to make a decision on these. These are being advanced by the proponents of the mine that is being discussed with the aboriginal leaders and aboriginal communities to a federal process. There are a variety of interests here, and at the end of the day it is not the Government of the Northwest Territories that is going to make that type of decision. We do look at the different suggestions that are made and we do evaluate the merits, the pros and cons of them, but we do not take a final decision on these types of issues while they are still being discussed. Thank you.
