One of the exhibits we have in chapter 2, Mr. Chair, is in the northern Athabasca River. So the context is that in 2001 Environment Canada identified as a threat to human health toxic pollutants from the oil sands projects area. Within the northern Athabasca region, Fort McMurray and northwards, there is one federal water quality monitoring station. It's located 150 kilometres north of the oil sands projects. It was established in the late 1970s. It was established to measure effluents from the pulp and paper sector.
