Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the three departments which are involved in this drinking water issue are MACA, who takes the lead role, Public Works and Services, who has the technical support and Health and Social Services in a health advisory capacity. The Inuvik Regional Health and Social Services Board, Public Works and Services, MACA and the Hamlet of Fort McPherson are working together to address the problem and adjustments have been made to the treatment plant, which have significantly lowered the THM levels. However, the Member is right that some tests do continue to show that the THMs are above the accepted standard but are not, to our knowledge, what would be considered an emergency level. Thank you.
