Thank you, Mr. Speaker. First of all, PanArctic oil has not had a proposal to put before the government to bury the garbage. The company has to apply to the Government of Canada to bury its garbage.
Mr. Speaker, that is why, as the Government of the Northwest Territories, we have asked the permit be withheld to dump garbage into the ocean, so we can look at different options including burying it on Lougheed Island or reusing the material. The material could possibly be reused. Mr. Speaker, I have talked to the Member privately and I suggested that he and I go up to Lougheed Island this summer to look at the garbage to see if it could be reused. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
