Mr. Speaker, the DEW Line sites and the assets and buildings that sit on these sites, are currently the property of the federal government. The Department of Public Works is looking at ways to dispose of these assets. Many of the buildings on the DEW Line sites contain paint with a high level of PCBs. The federal Department of Public Works is looking for buyers for these assets. They are also looking for agreement with aboriginal groups on finding a mutually acceptable way of disposing of these assets that contain the paint. How do you take these buildings and equipment apart, and dispose of them in a landfill site without causing an environmental concern? That is the situation today. Thank you.
