Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, Kitikmeot region is one region where the DEW Line site runs right through. In Pelly Bay, we have one DEW Line site which is abandoned about 16 miles east of Pelly Bay and we have another one 16 miles west of Pelly Bay. The community has very strong concerns about a number of things, one is the fact there are contaminant substances in one area. I was told by local hunters that the barrels at the DEW Line site east of Pelly Bay have all kinds of debris. We have 45 gallon drums. Some are getting rusty. Others are still intact all over that place. A number of people have spoken to me that we have spring run-off running right to the ocean and we have spring run-off into the lakes. My question to the Minister, will the Minister communicate with the hamlet council of Pelly Bay to get the details and facts about the concern I just related to the Minister? Thank you.
