Certainly. Thank you for the question.
The federal contaminated sites action plan is led by the Department of the Environment and all federal custodians input into the preparation of that plan, which sets out priorities based on assessed need and urgency of the cleanup. Prior to the economic action plan, the plan for this year for PWGSC included 26 projects. There are seven identified in Atlantic, seventeen in our Pacific region, with one in the NCA and one in the western region.
Through the economic action plan, additional funds were made available and departments re-queued their requests. As a result of the economic action plan funding, PWGSC received enough funds at present with our plans in place to address another 31 sites. These include sixteen in Atlantic Canada, one in Quebec, six in Ontario region, one in western region, and another seven in Pacific.
