Thank you, Chair, and thank you all so much for being here this morning. We appreciate the testimony on this really difficult and complex but long overdue situation to be dealt with at Grassy Narrows.
I can't even imagine what the community must be going through, suffering through decades of a source that continues on and on, generation after generation. It must be very frustrating. I want to follow-up on some of the questions that have already been asked, to try to expand on them a bit.
Here we are. We find ourselves in this situation. What have previous governments done to try to address this issue? Has anyone? Is this the first time that we're actually taking this issue seriously in trying to come to an agreement on something that has been going on for so long?
Mr. Conn.
