Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The comments I have for the Minister are in terms of the empowerment of the communities to take over the facilities and some of the assets that are going to have some decision-making authorities. I would like to talk about the water and waste treatment plants in our communities and our ability to meet these new standards in Canada now. I want to ask the Minister, over time, how are we going to support our communities to meet these new national standards in our water and in sewer and in wastewater treatment plants and also the regulatory requirements that will be attached to these facilities?
I know in one community that our water plant is being an issue, because of the high cost of maintaining it. Sometimes lack of resources depletes that budget item for looking after that water plant, so the community is quite hesitant to see if they want to take that water treatment plant over. I just want to ask the Minister in terms of some going forward plans in terms of these water national standards.
