Thank you for that question.
Our government is committed to protecting the environment. That's why we're investing $4.23 billion to clean up federal contaminated sites. As of March, 2014, $2.1 billion has been spent on the remediation at more than 1,500 sites. We've also assessed more than 10,200 sites, and that has created 11,000 person-year jobs. Budget 2015 renews the government's support for the federal contaminated sites action plan by proposing an additional $99.6 million over four years. These investments are reducing the risk to human health and improving the environment.
