Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the department has indeed been considering savings. The department is hoping to be able to reinvest the savings back into more calcium because there is indeed a savings as far as maintenance is concerned, operations and maintenance costs come down, everything comes down. Again, as a matter of getting the calcium to the site. It is expensive to bring calcium all the way to the Beaufort. In particular, we do not have a calcium source any closer than the southern part of the territories. All these factors are taken into consideration. The department is definitely aware of the savings involved and are definitely aware the safety factors are improved, less dust conditions. We do take all of the factors into consideration. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
