Mr. Speaker, let me assure the hon. member that neither my officials nor I are scared in relation to what I think he is referring to, the recommendations of the standing committee on the environment.
My commitment as Minister of Natural Resources is to work collaboratively, co-operatively with my colleagues, the Ministers of the Environment, Industry, Fisheries and Oceans, and Transport. At this point I am willing to go on record to the minister that working together we will ensure a regulatory regime that supports the mining industry.
