Madam Speaker, as a result of the concern I have, I've made a statement. I'm sure anybody who lives on the Slave River, Athabasca River, Slave Lake or Mackenzie River would have a concern about the amount of pollution that's being discharged into the river. I don't think that this is something I would like to take lightly or that the department should be taking lightly. I would like to ask the Minister, while there are discussions happening regarding the tripartite agreement, that we don't ignore this and leave it until it's too late. I would like to ask the Minister if he is conveying to the federal department of Fisheries and Oceans that the residents should be warned whether the water is safe or we should be concerned.
