            12.1    Change of Ownership of the Principals of the SSS

 

            The recent takeover by Xstrata Nickel of Falconbridge Ltd. was tabled for discussion and the subsequent repercussions this might present.  The PAC wanted assurances that the Falconbridge commitment to the Sudbury Soils Study and the PAC are still in place.  Marc Butler, as the representative of Falconbridge on the TC indicated that everything is still as it was prior to the Xstrata takeover.  Similar concerns were expressed as it has been noted that INCO is also in a takeover position and Glen Watson, the TC representative for INCO, indicated he expects continued support from that takeover company as well.  The PAC requested something more tangible in this regard and the Chair indicated he would work with the WG to obtain some sort of official commitment with regards to the SSS and the ongoing support for the completion of the Study.

Action:  The WG and PAC Chair report respectively to the

TC and PAC the position of the takeover companies.

 

            12.2    Update on the Status of the SSS

 

            Glen Watson reported that Volumes I and II were sent to TERA on July 24th and later this evening we will receive feedback on these reports by the IERP.  He also informed the PAC that it is expected Volume III, the ERA, is scheduled to be sent to TERA at the beginning of October although there may be some delay with this date.  We will then have a similar session with this volume as we will now be undergoing with the HHRA.  He also reported that the expected dates for public release will be February 2007 for the HHRA and June 2007 for the ERA.
