Thank you, Mr. Minister. Minister Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. Ms. Lee.

Thank you. Sergeant-at-Arms, please escort in the witnesses.

For the record, Mr. Minister, would you please introduce your witness?

Thank you, Ms. Lee. Mr. Roland.

Total department, special warrants, $577,000. Mr. Ramsay.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I don't know if it's going to be a good question, a bad question or a dumb question, but I am going to ask it anyway, Mr. Chairman. It is in regard to the remediation project at the Giant Mine. The question I have is, is there any further liability that we foresee in the future for more expenditures? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. That’s a lot of information in such a short time, since the meeting in April anyway. Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. We’re talking about mid-June now. Has there been any contact with the other claimant groups with regard to how soon -- maybe I didn’t understand -- but how soon the collaboration with them for the drafting of the act will take place? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I rise today to speak in regard to the Species at Risk Act. During a northern leaders conference in Inuvik, Members of Cabinet and some Regular Members met with the Inuvialuit, the Gwich'in and the Tlicho leadership to discuss the Species at Risk Act. Madam Speaker, the leaders at this meeting are frustrated with the amount of time this government is taking to move forward with the Species at Risk Act.

Madam Speaker, the Minister of Environment and Natural Resources committed to move forward with this SARA by holding a meeting with the Inuvialuit, Gwich'in, Tlicho...

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I think my next question is, if I understand correctly, was there a first draft of the legislative act before? Are there any flaws with it that the aboriginal groups didn’t want to push forward with? Thank you.
