Mr. Speaker, this government's responsibility is for clean up and reclamation on the lands that are not covered by the water licence. There is still some debate between our department and DIAND on exactly where that begins and were it ends. We argue that, at minimum, DIAND is responsible for everything from the mill and its impact to everything that flows down from there, including the tailings ponds and reservoirs and so on. Our responsibility is for other structures that may be sitting on the mine property, but not directly connected with the water licence. Thank you.
