What can we do? Can we do some research on the biota and the aquatic species to come to a conclusion about this? This would seem to me to be the priority, from a public policy perspective. It's all about tailings ponds and if they're seeping into the Athabasca, yet we seem to be avoiding this issue as if it were the elephant in the room. You've done some research, but apparently you're not prepared to make a categorical statement until the last bit of research is done. Why isn't this being done?
