Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today I just enjoyed a nice glass of water before me here and I know many Members did the same thing. The reason why I felt comfortable drinking this water is I know it was tested. I knew there was some decorum in the water. I knew there was some scientific value in the water that I drank. Unfortunately, upon review of MACA’s 2010 GNWT Report on Drinking Water, which I made reference to today in my Member’s statement, my spidey sense in terms of my chemistry background, a lot of warning bells went off. I was very much alarmed to know that we weren’t, as a government, enforcing
the very set of guidelines and standards for our testing.
As I mentioned in my Member’s statement, many communities, upon forensic review, haven’t been tested, some of them since 2009 and some of them haven’t been tested since 2011. That said, I have a question for the MACA Minister in terms of what happened to these missing test results. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
