Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Health. In January, 1993, I learned that a report was released by the Canadian Wildlife Services indicating a high level of cadmium has been found in caribou liver and kidneys. The report went on to say that caribou have been found safe for human consumption. Mr. Speaker, I have heard that this report has been called back by the Canadian Wildlife Services because there were no experts in human health involved in the study. Recognizing that cadmium is a toxic substance, can the Minister inform Members of this Assembly what actions her department have taken to ensure that the report is correct and that the caribou are safe to eat?
