Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I have another point I want to make or question I want to ask the Minister and it's with regard to the contaminated site at Giant Mine. Mr. Chairman, I do appreciate that there is a major discussion project going on headed by the federal government looking at the options of cleaning the ground contamination. I do believe the Minister is aware that the responsibility for cleaning the surface contamination lies with the department. The information I have is there is money being made available by the city government and DIAND to make progress in that area. I don't know if the Minister could verify this, but the department is showing reluctance in getting into this area to clean the sites up and contribute towards that area until there is a comprehensive agreement with the federal government. Could I get the Minister to verify whether that's the case and explain why the Minister is taking that road?
