Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In the Minister’s response to general comments, he talked about Giant Mine. I know that the federal government is moving forward with some remediation of that Giant Mine site which involves freezing in a significant amount of arsenic underground and using not just a freezing process but thermal siphons as part of the solution. If you go outside here and look at our lovely road, thermal siphons don’t work or don’t appear to work. I am a little concerned, honestly, about the method by which the federal government plans to contain the arsenic, given their method and obviously global warming. I am curious if the Minister can tell me what money, if any, are we investing to offer alternate solutions to the federal government. Are we doing anything to encourage them to do a more thorough and permanent cleaning as opposed to freezing this deadly toxin underground so that your children and grandchildren can deal with it later? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
