Recently it's been more effective than in the past. Most of the investment in the RAP has been local up until recently with tri-government investments in waste water treatment. There are three waste water treatment plants: Dundas; Woodward, which handles most of the city of Hamilton; and the Skyway, which handles most of the city of Burlington. Tertiary treatments are being installed currently at Skyway and Woodward, which is the majority of the waste water that's treated and flowing back into the harbour...and along with the province and the municipality, those are major investments.
The Randle Reef project to contain toxic sediment has also received a green light recently. That was one-third, one-third, one-third funding, which is about $40 million from the federal government. That's a really significant project to the RAP.
Probably the most significant thing over time and that I shouldn't overlook is the amount of scientific expertise that exists. It's not a coincidence that we've been able to make a lot of headway in Hamilton Harbour, despite it being such an intractable situation. It's a federal port. It has the Canada Centre for Inland Waters, the National Water Research Institute, McMaster University, and other scientific agencies.Some fantastic, dedicated federal employees have been devoted to Hamilton Harbour and its recovery over the length of the RAP, since the 1980s. They're still involved. They're still on BARC's board, for example. They're still giving to the process.
