Thank you, Mr. Chair. We can go through key points on this list on page 303. The water unit staff have responsibility and involvement with the communities across the North and work on the ground in the communities across the North.

The Wilfred Laurier University contribution is, we partnered up and got, I think, $3 for the price of one or $2 for the price of one to a contribution agreement to do on-the-ground water research in the Northwest Territories on areas of significant interest and concern not only to Wilfred Laurier but to the Northwest Territories and the communities.

Source water protection plans are talking about the water supply and security of every community in the Northwest Territories from where the water comes from until it comes out of your tap. That involves all the communities, the Water Strategy implementation, as well as workshops across the land and working with the Aboriginal steering committee.

The Peace-Athabasca Delta is one of the monitoring programs that we’re involved in. It’s the biggest delta just south of our borders where the water flows from there into the North. We also have involvements not listed here with the Slave, as well, the Slave Delta. In addition to that, the Government of the Northwest Territories spends significant amounts of money through Municipal and Community Affairs in communities to ensure water supply. Public Works has a role to play as does Health and Social Services in terms of environmental health and public health issues and the quality of water.

When you combine all that together, there’s a significant amount of money that is spent in addition to this money trying to deal with that particular issue at the community level. Thank you.
