Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I thank the two witnesses for being here today.
The topic we are dealing with now is very important and touches me deeply. I put myself in the shoes of the people living there: every time they go fishing or fetching water from the river, they wonder if they are going to get poisoned. It's a very serious situation that has been going on for a long time.
Ms. Wells, on the one hand, you didn't get the information for quite some time. On the other hand, this information could have been provided to you by Imperial, by the Alberta government, or perhaps even by the Canadian government.
Do you feel that your community was kept in the dark or that a situation where people's health was at risk was hidden from it?
