Well, Madam Chairperson, the Northern Strategy, I believe, will be much broader than that specific initiative. I think that we are going to have some discussion around this framework and talk about what our priorities are. I look forward to that discussion with committee.
Our sense is that this should be a comprehensive plan for dealing with Northern Canada. We think that this is one of the initiatives, potentially, that can be plugged in here.
The federal government really has the responsibility for the cleanup of these contaminated sites. There are monies identified in the budget. It is important that we keep our contaminated sites agenda on their radar. I think we are effectively doing that and that is one of the key priorities was Giant. We are in continual discussion with the federal government and I think we are certainly closer to a potential solution there than we have ever been. I wouldn't suggest that we need new strategies, new studies or waiting for new strategies and new studies in terms of cleaning up contaminated sites, especially the Giant site with the ongoing negotiations.
Things are not on hold waiting for strategies and studies. We are moving forward on these, but some of these initiatives and issues end up on parallel tracks. Thank you, Madam Chairperson.
