I just have a few questions before we move on. I just want to ask the Minister has his department been keeping a close working relationship with our health department on the fish monitoring situation in the lakes in the north. I know there was an issue that was brought up some time ago with the mercury in our lakes, and the health board and the Sahtu Renewable Resource were looking at closely monitoring those lakes. When I was in Tulita just after Christmas, the Sahtu Renewable Resource Council president had some people coming in from down south to look at these lakes and monitor them. I want to thank the department for keeping close monitoring. That caused a lot of concern for my constituents and probably other constituents in the north that eat fish. Is this something that a report will come forward and we would look at some of the recommendations in the reports as to what’s causing the mercury to go up in our fish up in the Sahtu?
