Thank you.
Also, give my best regards to Ms. Goodridge. I'm excited for her. Congratulations.
It has been an ongoing issue for decades. How safe the water is has always been an underlying concern with the community. The community relies on the water on a daily basis. It is their lifeline. It is where the animals they harvest come from. There has been this underlying concern for decades. This has brought it all forward and brought it fully to the front of everyone's mind now.
I hear about the concerns on a pretty regular basis. Our office is also receiving concerns. Those comments that I had put in the statement are actual comments from the community about never being able to swim in the lake again and about questioning the safety of eating the fish. Our community is a very big harvester of fish. There is winter and summer fishing for our community, and there's a big concern.
I know a community member who caught a beaver. He harvested it before we heard about all of this and he's really worried. He needs to have it tested to feel that it's safe—
