Mr. Speaker, thanks to the Minister for those comments. I know his presence at that workshop was greatly appreciated. The government has said that the Devolution Agreement will ensure cleaning up of contaminated sites, and Giant is the epitome of such sites, but to date the federal government has made no commitment to ensure funding of perpetual care and maintenance or to fund continuing research into alternative technologies that could ultimately eliminate the environmental threat.
Will the Minister commit to ensuring that the Devolution Agreement contains provisions committing the federal government to identify and supply long-term funding for perpetual care including continuing research towards complete elimination of existing toxins? Mahsi.
