Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Good afternoon. Mr. Speaker, yesterday I spoke about the garbage and abandoned buildings at Cape Christian, a former American coast guard station located 12 miles northeast of Clyde River. Today, I would like to talk about the environmental assessment done in 1996 and for the record, Mr. Speaker, I was involved in that assessment in 1996 by the Canadian Royal Military College. Their study showed that there are small amounts of PCBs in the paint of the buildings and 23 cubic metres of soil were found to be contaminated within the site. The study concluded that the site received low priority on the clean-up list, as there was minimal contamination and there was small risk posed by contaminants on site. The owner of the site is now the Government of the Northwest Territories. Mr. Speaker, Clyde River would like assurances from the government that the site is environmentally safe. Thank you.
