Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just a couple of comments on the Minister's opening remarks. I was glad to see that the environment is the central priority for this department, and through the air quality code of practice, the Arctic Energy Alliance, energy compensation program and the biophysical study, and all of the rest of the other studies that the Minister pointed out in his opening statement. Just a couple of questions on the $575 million that the federal government has allocated for mine cleanup in Canada. I am wondering if the department has developed any kind of a mine strategy, or remediation strategy, and if the department has allocated any money toward any mine remediation actions that still remain unspoken for and unnoticed to leverage maybe some of this $575 million that the federal government has allocated for cleanup.
