Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My written question is directed to Hon. Minister Miltenberger, Minister of Environment and Natural Resources.

1) Will the Minister develop a plan of action that

includes community renewable resource councils as part of types of fuel spill response plans?

2) Can the Minister provide an explanation as to

why it took four and a half hours to have his officials at the scene of the Rocky Island barge fuel spill and an explanation on why they did not stay at the scene until the barge was safely secure from further spills?

3) Has the department conducted, in conjunction

with local renewable resource councils, an environmental impact study in Wrigley and Tulita on the impacts because of the “unknown amount of spills?”
