Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of ENR in terms of the water issue in northern Alberta. We heard reports of leakage of the Fort McMurray oil sands. We hear other reports of other potential contamination of the waters. The Minister’s riding is the gatekeeper of our water sources down the Mackenzie Valley. I would ask the Minister, in terms of his recent meetings with the Alberta officials, what he can tell the people of the Northwest Territories, especially in my region, who will feel the effects of the water quality in the Mackenzie River in terms of our fish, our wildlife, and the animals that use the water to survive. How is he going to communicate to the people that water is taken very seriously and that it will be monitored in the Mackenzie River?
