We have the technological tools. They are readily available. Certainly, we've been focusing a lot on fecal coliforms and a little less on chemical pollution. The tools and technologies exist. The challenge we have is to make information available quickly so that it can lead to decision-making.
In the case of the Mercier lagoons, the situation is desperate. The lagoons site is being decontaminated and that work will carry on indefinitely. In Blainville, they are talking about expanding a toxic waste dump. The authorities are claiming that the membrane is watertight, but it will break down over time.
There is the challenge of transparency, of communication. You have to make sure that people are aware of the risks and understand them, and that follow-up work is done based on the information previously communicated.
Again, a lot of information is being collected, but we should be setting targets, including preventative ones.
