Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the situation at Giant Mine with regard to the underground storage of the trioxide is that DIAND has been doing a lot of work. DIAND has been taking full responsibility for the underground contaminants and they have come out with about 12 different management alternatives, and zeroed in on two. The honourable Member mentioned that. There are still consultations going on. We have departmental committees looking at it. As Cabinet, we haven't really made a decision on which option that we prefer at this point in time. We continue to work with DIAND to look at the best possible alternatives. Even though they have come out with two alternatives, we think there might be a third that we would like to explore. So as a Cabinet, we haven't really taken a position on one or the other.
