Madam Chair, the way that I would respond to that is I can’t speak to what people would view as adequate but there are a number of the bills that address this in various manners. Our mirror Waters Act, for any development that requires a water licence, security will have to be posted with the Minister and the water licence speaks to terms of reclamation. Land use permitting in a similar manner. The standard terms of a lease under the Northwest Territories Lands Act will also speak to a requirement on the lessee to bring the lands back to…basically to reclaim the lands to the state that they were before the lease was issued. There are a number of pieces there that are in the mirror legislation, and of course, in the Mackenzie Valley the Mackenzie Valley Resource Management Act and Regulations continue to apply as well. There are various pieces out there that address the matter of security and reclamation.
