Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, an important conference on contaminants is under way in Iqaluit. At that conference, we have heard that funding for scientific work on the study of contaminants is running out. Can the Minister for the Environment tell this House what, if anything, is the Government of the Northwest Territories trying to do to make sure that this needed funding for scientific projects, either Federally, Territorially, or Provincially, is kept in place. Thank you Mr. Speaker.
