Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think the concern of the community is not another study, but the question of the water quality. There was a report issued by your department and it stated that there are some traces of cancer-causing components in the water supply. I think that is the biggest concern of the community to date. We are talking about six different chemicals that you have been adding to the water system to try to resolve this problem ... So with regard to that, the $40,000 study is great, but we have a concern with the community which is now becoming a health concern. I see there is a real urgency to try to find a mechanism of dealing with this. Will the Minister, and his honourable colleague, the Minister of MACA, make an attempt to go into the community and sit down with community members and the people from the Health department, municipality and band council to try to resolve this ASAP?
