Mr. Speaker, I will have to check on that, but the main concern is the arsenic trioxide that is underground. That is where the big price tag is going to be for the federal government to come up and how they are going to put that together. As for the surface cleanup, it's also a huge concern and I cannot really answer the Member's question and I have to take it as notice and get back to him as soon as possible. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My written question is for the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment. It's concerning the student appeal board process at Aurora College.

1. Would the Minister act immediately to initiate the change to the composition of Aurora College student appeal boards, so they are independent and work at arm's length from the Aurora College system.

2. Would the Minister ensure that there is a student representative on all appeal boards at Aurora College? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
