Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I thank you gentlemen for coming today.
I'll get to specific things in a second here, but with regard to the audit paper, and specifically to the federal and provincial regulations and waste water and water treatment, why does there seem to be an environmental regulatory gap on reserve vis-à-vis off reserve? As you are aware, for off reserve we are required to follow provincial and/or municipal guidelines. It seems to me as though some reserves do hook up to municipal waste water treatment centres, and that resolves that issue.
Is there the potential of reserves that are not formed to any regulatory body, that it would be easier to form to a provincial body than a federal regulatory system? In some instances we do not have federal regulations, especially when it comes to waste water. We do for water systems, but not for waste water.
