Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Like I mentioned earlier, there were about 12 different management alternatives and DIAND had preferred two. One of them is the frozen block which leaves the contaminants in the ground and not exposed to the surface. The other one is the whole thing about putting it in cement and putting it at a disposal site. There is also a discussion about a disposal which would transfer the arsenic to the base of the mine and re-store it in vaults. I think this is another alternative that has been thrown around. At this point in time, there are still consultations going on and we continue to work with DIAND in this area. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
