Thank you, Mr. Macdonald. I want to thank you for your presentation. Diavik has turned out to be a very good corporate citizen in the Northwest Territories. You went through an extensive environmental assessment process. I was actually engaged in it as a member of the Mackenzie Valley Environmental Impact Review Board.
You brought up some issues. The fish habitat compensation was to create habitat on the side of your dike to improve the landing area. I seem to remember something about that. Perhaps I have that wrong.
On the effluent standards, one of the unanswered questions in the environmental assessment process was on the waste rock degradation and leaching. I think that was something that was unknown at the time of the environmental assessment, because we were moving into areas we were unfamiliar with. Environmental assessment sometimes can't provide all the answers right off the bat.
The closure financial security probably has something to do with the unknown factors that enter into any mining operation in a new area. Don't you agree?
