Thank you. My statement today is with regard to the problem that arose over a year ago which I brought to the attention of this House. It is with regard to Fort McPherson and the trouble it has had with the quality of its water and exactly where the source of the water is. Mr. Speaker, the residents of Fort McPherson have been battling with the problem of poor quality water. The water is presently pumped from a lake and has a very high iron and magnesium content. It smells and tastes bad and has even caused laundry damage for the residents of Fort McPherson.
Recently, the community wrote to the Minister suggesting that the water be piped from another source, Stony Creek. Mr. Speaker, at the appropriate time, I will be asking the Minister a question on this matter about what has been done to date. Thank you.
