Thank you, Mr. Chair. I don't know if I am going to be able to convince the Member to vote for this or not, but first of all, I want to say that we are not saying that this couldn't be done; it could be done if we had chosen to. We are doing some low-cost cleanup this year with O and M on a small barrel cleanup that is at the site, but the biggest problem, I think, with trying to remediate the contaminated sites once they are identified going forward, is if we do that within the revolving fund, that is going to be a cost bearing on the communities that use this service.

If we are using that fund to do the remediation, that is not going to allow for other things that would maybe lower the cost of living for residents, and fuel supply to these other communities. The other thing I want to probably mention is, once we go through our environmental assessment, particularly phase 2, GNWT will have an option to approach the Government of Canada and negotiate responsibility remediation of some of these sites, under the terms of the Devolution Agreement. The federal government did run this site for a number of years, and we are hopefully going to be able to access some of these through a consultation with them and the Devolution Agreement, and their responsibility for remediating some of these sites. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
