Thank you, Madam Chair. I think one of the important things to keep in mind is that, as diamond mines grow from infancy all the way through to their full production all the way through to their full closure, the mine themselves as well as the government, which is our Department of Lands, work very closely with the Environment and Natural Resources to ensure that the appropriate closure reclamation plans are in place. That is one of the really key elements that I think is critical to ensuring that the diamond mines, as they wind down, wind down in an orderly fashion and don't just pull up stakes and be gone and left somebody holding the bag or even being able to draw down security. Somebody still has to manage that kind of a final closure reclamation.

The plans that the diamond mines are under the close scrutiny of the GNWT as well as, probably, our partners, the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Boards, are very thorough, very detailed. There are legal requirements for the companies to make sure that they adhere to them. As a diamond mine closes down, part of these plan are: how are they going to continue to monitor into the future. Our inspectors continue to make sure that they are out there on as regular a basis as they were when the mine was in production or when the mine was being built to make sure that any of the requirements of the closure reclamation or any requirements of a water licence or any requirements of a land-use permit are fully adhered to and fully complied with. That is, in a nutshell, how we determine whether or not the mines are winding down in an appropriate fashion and are seeing the appropriate amount of oversight. Thank you, Madam Chair.
