Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs, the Honourable Roger Allen. As I mentioned in my Member's statement, I am waiting for results of the water quality tests on Russell Lake and Marian River.
Initially, I requested these tests last summer. In November, I received word from MACA that Public Works had not been able to do the tests because of either bad weather or an urgent workload. The tests will tell us which side requires the least chemicals to treat the water properly. I would like to know what criteria the department uses to decide where the water intake for a water plant will be. Is it the quality of water or the budget? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
