I'd like to answer some of Heather's questions, or add to them at least.
First of all, what we're asking for, from Mikisew, is some certainty. One thing is the House study. We would really like a commitment from the federal government on that. Also, we would like a full review and assessment of all tailings ponds in the region.
Canada can help the AER to regulate, with guidelines for naphthenic acids, because the current guidelines they use.... There isn't really a guideline; they set their own. We need to have this regulated better so that our people can have adequate information they can work with.
Also, we need Imperial Oil to immediately provide information and make statements that no wildlife was harmed. Will they allow independent federal and Mikisew monitors and wildlife cameras in their area? Also, we ask the AER for an assessment of cumulative impacts in the region.
