Yes.
Now I visited the site before the mine was built. This is a site that had 265 archaeological sites on the island. So it was well used by people through millennia, because it's a very rich area. There were also extensive caribou tracks on the island. The island was riddled with them. At the time, we had a real question about what was going to happen to the caribou herds with the linear expansion of the diamond industry through there. What we've seen since is that the caribou herds in that area have had a precipitous decline, according to the Government of the Northwest Territories. And we've seen reductions in hunting requirements. So when you deal with these types of developments in new areas, there are very extensive impacts you have to look at very carefully.
The last point I'd like to make, and maybe you can comment on it, is that you've decided to build wind turbines, which I think is a fabulous thing you're doing there. But during the environmental assessment process, there was a lack of attention paid to alternatives for energy. You and I know that the major environmental impact of the Diavik mine is the need to import diesel fuel. What we saw with an environmental assessment, even with the intensity you were suggesting, is that some of the answers weren't given. For a government that gets royalties and taxes based on your profit, we kind of missed it on the energy management side in the environmental assessment. We didn't look at hydro. We didn't look at wind.
I'm just trying to make the point to you that environmental assessment, don't you agree, is important to do right. It's important to examine all the issues. It's not a certain science.
