Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, certainly the Minister pretty well knows which water treatment plant I was talking about and it’s certainly an issue here. Now, I guess, the other one is up in Colville Lake regarding the new water treatment plant and the ability for them to have proper O and M budget to maintain that new highly technical water treatment plant there and meeting the new national standard.
The Minister is correct, you know, if we do want to come up to the new standards of waste and water treatment plants, this money’s got to be attached to it by the federal government to us to pass it on. I mean, we just can’t give it to the communities. So he’s certainly correct there. So is there anything that this side can do to support the Minister in terms of asking the feds for these types of dollars if we are to meet the national standards? Otherwise, we’re not doing any services to our communities and we try to allow them to take over these facilities here. So I guess I want to ask the Minister, in terms of the regulatory requirements, how stringent or how flexible is the appropriate federal agencies or the government here in having these regulatory requirements set for our communities’ water treatment plants and wastewater treatment facilities?
