Our department is working on two fronts. One is the technical front. We're trying to develop better technologies to clean the water, recycle the water, and generally use less water in the production of oil. On the coordination front, we have committees in NRCan from different areas within the department, and we are working with the Department of Environment on a number of these issues. We are also in touch with the provincial government. We sit on many committees with the federal and provincial governments, and these issues are discussed extensively.
