Thanks, Mr. Chair. We can compete about who has got a longer memory. Certainly with Giant there was $400,000. It is going to cost the taxpayers probably over a billion dollars, maybe even closer to two by the time it gets remediated. Even as recently as last year with Norman Wells, there is no financial security, or not enough set aside. Now it is $180 million. The Minister could accept a promissory note on the back of a napkin as financial security. That is just not good enough. There is certainly still room for improving and making greater accountability through our legislation. I know the Minister would never accept something on the back of a napkin, but I know that he will be happy to change that legislation to make sure that future Ministers can't do that either. I just want to get into a couple of specifics here. With the Cantung Mine, have we given back this surface lease to the federal government? Thanks, Mr. Chair.
