Mr. Speaker, as far as I am aware, there are no other sources of cadmium other than what is found naturally in the rocks, plants and water and it concentrates up the food chain. The National Northern Contaminants Program has been at work for about 15 years. They are looking mainly at barren land caribou and recently have started looking at the moose as well. The issue, I would assume, has always been there. It is just now that they are doing the testing on moose in addition to the caribou. Thank you.
