I think there were two questions Ms. Lee had asked. First of all, with regard to the water license, the water license is a license that is issued by the federal government through the water board. We do not have a direct role in it because water is not within our mandate. However, with Diavik, we are concerned about some of the very stringent performance requirements that are placed on them by their draft water license. Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development did a review of the requirements and has provided a letter to Diavik outlining some of our perceptions on what is possible, what is reasonable and so on. As I say, it is not our responsibility, so it is very difficult for us to intervene in that process.
I have met with the Minister responsible for DIAND and his special envoy when he was in town. It was one of the things that he was looking at, the issue around the water license. I certainly did everything I could to have the Minister not delay in signing off the water license, assuming they could come to an agreement that is reasonable with Diavik.
The second question was about the Non-Renewable Resource Strategy. We are continuing to keep that at the top of the agenda. I think, with the help of the standing committee, we did a good job in Calgary. We had an excellent response from industry. We have been in contact. Both the Premier and I have talked this week with the Minister responsible for DIAND and the Minister responsible for Finance, Mr. Paul Martin. Mr. Steen is meeting today with the Minister responsible for Transportation. Mr. Ootes is looking at meeting shortly with the Minister responsible for Human Resources Canada. We are continuing to keep this at the top of the agenda.
It takes time. It is frustrating at times. We are continuing to make sure it is there. We are focusing on the three areas of training and employment dollars, infrastructure, and business support. Thank you.
