Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Minister of Environment and Natural Resources to follow up yesterday's line of questioning in regards to the 40 million litres or so of fuel stored in single-hulled barges around Hay River on Great Slave Lake and the Hay River. There are many unanswered questions: how often they dip the tanks, can they reconcile the amount that was put in this fall with what is currently there, the type of spill plan and containment plan that they do have. Given the seriousness and potential extreme hazard to this situation, I'd like to ask the Minister whether he would commit to sending down the director of environmental services here for the department, down to Hay River personally to take a look and review what is there, look at all the barges and make an on-the-ground inspection? Thank you.
