(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am very glad to receive that response from the Minister. The written response to my written question was not understandable to me but now I have that background information. The Minister has not really responded to my earlier question. Why does the federal government allow the DEW Line people and PanArctic Oil to dispose of their garbage this way? When we first met about this there were three mandates. The first one was PanArctic's request to dump waste into the ocean, to put it underground, or take it back south where it came from in the first place. There were three choices. We were supposed to look for a fourth option as to what we could do to dispose of this garbage, whether it be dumped in the community dump. However, the fourth option has not been considered. My question was, why was the DEW Line approved in such a way, and PanArctic oil approved in another way. Why did they not allow PanArctic to dispose of their garbage as they did with the Dew Line? This was my question that he did not properly answer. Why are there differences between these two companies?
