Thank you for the question, Chair.
I do have some information on the contaminated sites program, which I'd be happy to share with you. I will not be able to provide the level of detail you are asking for today, but I can give you examples of where investments are being made over the coming year.
You are right that we received $9 million in funding this year for this important program. It's part of a $25-million investment over the next two years to address the numerous remediation and assessment challenges we face in national parks across the country. We have those same challenges in some of our national historic sites. In many instances they also were industrial sites where that kind of work took place.
There are examples in recent media releases of initiatives that are under way in Jasper National Park. For instance, there is $2 million being spent this year and next year to assess petroleum hydrocarbon contamination at three warden stations. Another announcement that was recently made related to the Lachine canal, where remediation work is under way for about $4.6 million this year and next. Again, that is hydrocarbon but also heavy metal contamination. These are two former industrial sites along the canal. There is also work in Ivvavik that is under way at this time.
I believe there are a total of 53 assessment projects planned, as well as 64 remediation and risk management projects. I don't have the list with me, but I'd be happy to share that information with you.
