Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to follow up with my Member’s statement with questions to the Minister of Environment and Natural Resources. In grappling with downstream water quality issues resulting from the tar sands, our Minister of Environment confronts the legacy of insufficient public oversight. In contrast, the development of our diamond mines has included independent monitoring mechanisms under legally binding agreements. This government’s officials have participated in work aimed at creating an independent oversight body and, this week, co-signed a letter to the board calling for a working group to be set up. Could the Minister comment on this government’s commitment to independent oversight and what his department is doing to ensure it comes about? Mahsi.
