Mr. Speaker, we have to look at the affects of logging, global warming, acid rain, oil and gas exploration and all their hazards to the environment and ultimately the lakes and the fish. The government has supported and participated in the West Kitikmeot/Slave Study.
Mr. Speaker, with regard to all the water in the Great Slave flowing through the Deh Cho, the resource communities in the Deh Cho have done a lot of research in the area already. In order to save the fish in the lakes, is the government prepared to match the effort of the West Kitikmeot/Slave Study and turn its resources towards a comprehensive and integrated study of the Deh Cho region?
