Thanks to the Minister. The Minister’s statement stated: “Security provides additional protection to ensure that there are funds to address environmental liabilities if proponents fail to take remedial action.” That’s definitely a statement that I can agree with and I’m very glad that that’s in there. I do have a bit of a difficulty in that if the amount is set by the board and yet the government is supposed to do the monitoring and enforcement, if the number is not enough for remediation, there’s a bit of a gap in there.

I’d like to ask the Minister how the assessments are made. He says that they’re made by the board, but are they made in house? Does the department assist the board when they are making those assessments for security?

Earlier in response to questions from Mr. Bromley, I believe, the Minister mentioned that they were in negotiations with a particular development to establish a security. So I’d like to know how these assessments are made and my point is we need to have them as accurate as possible. Thank you.
