Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Department of Health and Social Services does not have funds that are earmarked for this particular project, but I do understand that the work is progressing on the development of Deep Water Lake and a new source of water for the community. In the meantime, the members of the community have been provided with some short-term options to address the THMs in the water and are encouraged to do that. The THMs are in the water as a result of the chlorine reacting with naturally occurring organic matter in the water and even though it is the chlorination that is causing the THMs, it is still considered to be safer and have less potential for illness if the water is chlorinated. These are temporary measures until a new water source is on tap. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
