Thank you, Mr. Speaker. To the Minister of Renewable Resources. Mr. Speaker, another very serious concern about ocean dumping emerged last week in the release of a report from a Russian government commission. The report notes that double the amount of radioactivity released in the Chernobyl nuclear disaster has been dumped at sea by the former Soviet Union, including seven damaged nuclear reactors which are on the Arctic Ocean floor, and the ongoing dumping of liquid radioactive waste at sea by the Soviet navy with no shore-based alternative of disposing of that radioactive nuclear waste. Mr. Speaker, my question to the Minister is, firstly is he aware of this very serious issue and its consequences for our Arctic waters?
