Mr. Speaker. There is at the request of the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs some work done to asset the environmental conditions of the island that the Member is referring to at Padloping Island. The investigation, as far as I know, has been completed. In general terms, the biggest challenge at that site is clean-up of the enormous amount of debris that has been left on site. Most of this is building material. The chemical contamination, as far as the investigation is determined, has been limited in the area, that is, with remedial work to the soil. Some clean-up of the soil sites. Most of the work seems to be at this time in regard to general clean-up of the garbage and debris that has been left behind by the defence people after vacating the area. I believe that area is targeted for clean-up by the federal government by the year 2000. Thank-you.
