Mr. Speaker, the second report I tabled was an April 16, 2014, Giant Mine Working Group Public Report. On page 3, “Erika Nyyssonen (GNWT-ENR) noted that DOT, at the time, had been made aware of the Queens Soils results, and their vicinity to the highway realignment activities.”

Clearly, the department was aware of the province of arsenic in the area. So, can the Minister indicate to the House, why there was no baseline soil sampling for the potential of arsenic done by DOT before the construction of the Highway No. 4 bypass? Thank you.
