Thanks, Madam Chair. Yeah, thanks to the Minister for that. Yeah, I'm interested in having that meeting or discussion at some point, because the mines, they have water licenses. That's where the closure obligations are set out. They have a closure plan, standards are developed. I've seen, you know, reclamation calculations using spreadsheets. ENR actually maintains that spreadsheet.

I don't know why our system should be much different. In fact, some of our assets probably have water licenses, or should have water licenses. The sewage lagoons and so on. And they're going to have get closed at some point. We're going to have to deal with the closure of those and make sure we have the money to do it. So, yeah, I'm interested in that conversation.

So like my colleague, though, how do we actually fund this? I know that we have contaminated sites, big backlog of contaminated sites that we actually have an environment fund to basically put some money aside to deal with those contaminated sites, at least the ones that seem to be causing some kind of risk. So there's money that is going into that fund to help with remediation.

We're not going to have set up some kind of a fund to take care of these asset retirement obligations? It just gets rolled into our O and M at an annual rate of $8.5 million a year; is that how this is going to work? Thanks, Madam Chair.
