Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just wanted to ask the Minister about the issue of squatters on Commissioner's land which has been brought up in the House, and I wanted to talk about that in relation to not land use or municipal planning or anything else, but just in terms of the potential for contamination. I mean, there's really nothing worse than going into a very pristine, beautiful landscape and then finding out that somebody has lived there and left a lot of garbage or equipment or discarded material at that location. Whose responsibility is it from an environmental point of view to monitor people who are using land in that capacity, as a squatter, in terms of anything that could be environmentally injurious; waste disposal, perhaps petroleum products from diesel generators, those sorts of things? Whose responsibility and whose mandate is it to monitor that on the land? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
