Thank you, committee. No general comments. Request for detail. Does committee agree we go clause by clause?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We’ve heard repeated bad news lately on the Giant Mine Remediation Project. Citizens in the Weledeh riding in Yellowknife and those downstream have great cause for concern. Spring ice dams on Baker Creek have caused contaminated water to overflow from the tailings area. Northern Affairs released little and late information. The federal Department of Public Works person in Edmonton finally released some facts. The situation is bad, and DIAND is under legal direction to take action.

But things have just gotten worse. A large sinkhole has appeared, which could channel water...

Does committee agree that Bill 20 is ready for third reading?

---Bill 20 as a whole approved for third reading

Thank you, committee. I would like to ask the Sergeant-at-Arms to please escort the witnesses into the Chamber.

Minister Miltenberger, if you would introduce your witnesses.
