Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I believe the Minister is aware of the concerns of some of these laid-off miners that the mine site will be closed down and the mine flooded, possibly by the end of the year. They feel very strongly that there's a lot of work that can be done there, and that current employees could be given that job so that for some of them they could extend their pension plan and have some kind of transition work until they find something else that's more permanent. So may I ask the Minister to look into this and see what this government can do to work with the company to make it possible for the current workers to have a job there? Thank you.
