Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The other day, I am not sure if it was Saturday or Sunday, I was up late watching television, channel surfing, and ran across a presentation given by Mr. Robert Kennedy Junior on corporate pollutants and corporate law.
The interesting part was that the speaker, who was a water specialist, afterwards was thinking that there were a lot of airborne pollutants that were transferred to the northern regions, northern communities, and it may have a direct link to the health of the people in those regions. Those are not positive health effects, I imagine.
Can I suggest that the department look into that program, I believe it was Saturday night on CPAC, headed by Robert Kennedy Junior, and have a look at that discussion. I would also like to know, when was the last test done? From the Minister's answer, it sounds like the department has done several tests. What are the results?
Did it find more contaminants in the water progressively or is it decreasing? Where were the tests done? Primarily in the populated areas? It would be nice to have a full range from east to west, south to north. This is an area that I think the department should be very cognizant about and have information available for the concerned public.
I believe that concern is going to be on the rise. It is not going to be on the decline. As we know, the pollution in southern urban cities is getting higher and we are not going to escape that. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
