Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The last meeting I had with the Minister of Environment from Alberta was on February 12. I met with him on a number of issues, including water and contaminants. I need to have an agreement in place where the province would allow us to ship hazardous waste to Swan Hills. Up to this point, the province of Alberta has a policy stating that no contaminants will be transported to Swan Hills to be destroyed. That was their policy. The only contaminants they were allowing to be destroyed in Swan Hills were Alberta's own contaminants. I have been working with the Alberta government for quite awhile, starting with Mr. Klein when he was Minister of Environment. It was Mr. Klein's initiative to try to change the policy to allow limited contaminants to be transported to Alberta from the Northwest Territories. He understood that we have very little compared to what they process in a day in Swan Hills.
I have been told there could be a possible agreement in place by September to transport our contaminants down to Alberta. Also, they had a document produced in Cabinet. They have had public hearings around communities where the road goes from the Northwest Territories down to Swan Hills. I am told there was no public outcry because our contaminants are very minimal compared to what they have. It is now up to the Cabinet of Alberta to decide whether or not they will receive our contaminants. Thank you.
