Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I mentioned, through the Council of Ministers of Environment, there are efforts to deal with water issues, one of them being bulk water. Since it is very difficult to get a consensus among all jurisdictions across Canada, we have not made final agreements on that front. Since that time, during the last year, the federal government has started what they refer to as a water forum. That is a forum for all political jurisdictions to discuss various water issues. Some of them are certainly in the area that Mr. Krutko has referred to on national water guidelines and research, safety and so on. All of those are being discussed within that forum. The forum had one meeting last year. There is a second meeting scheduled for March 16th. The Government of the Northwest Territories will continue to participate in the water forums along with other jurisdictions. Thank you.
