Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm going to continue my discussion with Chief Emerita Whetung‑MacInnes.
In our conversation, you talked about the Curve Lake situation. I want to come back to one point. A water filtration plant has been in the works for several decades, maybe even 40 or 50 years, but the main problem is determining who will pay for its construction. Of course, it would have cost a lot less had the project been able to go ahead decades ago. Instead, it dragged on and on, much to the dismay of the people of Curve Lake. Today, the reality is that the project has still not been completed.
Who do you think should pay for it? Is it the federal government's responsibility?
