Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Fort Chip is not an Indian reserve; it has an Alberta municipal water system, so if you want information on that, you would ask them. Our understanding is that the water quality there is good.
At Health Canada we indeed monitor water quality on all the Indian reserves. We do it consistent with the Canadian drinking water guidelines in terms of the parameters, frequency, etc. As soon as we get that information, it is passed on to the chief and band council. In the last five years--I've had the region check--the water quality has never exceeded any of the guidelines that exist with regard to heavy metals or toxic organics. So I would say the water quality in all the reserves downstream is good.
