Thank you, Mr. Speaker. According to the federal government, the way this project was set up was acceptable to them. They thought if they dumped scrap metal in the ocean, there would be minimal impact. That was the advice given to the federal Minister and he did not pursue it. I think the communication is good, but the officials of the department were advising their Minister that this was no big deal. To us in the Northwest Territories any ocean dumping raises a concern, and my department has been rigorously pursuing the Department of Environment as well as the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. We are also trying to get a feeling from Indian and Northern Affairs on this ocean dumping to see if we can find another alternative to look after the garbage which is proposed to be dumped into the ocean. Thank you.
