Thank you, Madam Chair. The Standing Committee on Economic Development and Environment identified contaminated sites in the Northwest Territories as a priority for the committee to focus on. Several stakeholders were engaged to provide feedback and guide the committee through its review of contaminated sites. Committee received seven public presentations from the stakeholders in both private and in public sector throughout the review, and as a result that the review as a committee presented the report with the 16 recommendations to the Legislative Assembly, February 7th, 2023.

I want to thank my committee for reviewing this as a priority in prevention of the management of contaminated sites. And, Madam Chair, individual Members might have some additional comments. Thank you.
