Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Given the level of contamination at the site at Giant Mine, I would be concerned if this goes on for a long time. I would like to see that we do what we can to work with any contribution from the city or DIAND to clean up the sites as the negotiations proceed. I would like the Minister to revisit that issue.

I would like to spend my remaining time making a comment about the environmental review process for the third potential diamond mine, the De Beers project at Snap Lake, and the issues surrounding that. Mr. Chairman, many times when this issue gets brought up, we are told over and over again that the GNWT does not have a direct role to play in the environmental review process. But the information I am getting is maybe it's true that we don't have a strong and formal direct role to play, but it seems to me with what little power we have, we are doing a lot to make it more difficult for the process to advance. Mr. Chairman, members here are told a lot of the time about the level of information and questions that this government asks for the mine to provide, which sometimes is repetitive and sometimes is more extensive than it needs to be. I would like to know if the government has a stated position on what its objective is or goal. Is there a stated position from the government on what role it wants to play in the environmental review process?
