Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I agree that there has been a considerable amount of research. The circumpolar countries have done a considerable amount of work in the environmental contaminant area. The department was very actively involved in the matter of breastfeeding and breast milk and the impacts of contaminants on nutrition with pregnant moms. There was a cord blood monitoring done for a number of years that actually gave baseline information on contaminants and pregnancy. We have actually worked very closely with our Arctic neighbours in trying to make sure that information was systematic and relevant throughout the Territories.
