Thank you for that response.

I'm also very pleased to see that Northern Affairs is increasing its support related to contaminated sites and abandoned mine reclamation by almost $150 million year over year. The Northwest Territories has many of these projects, and Minister Dan Vandal is quite familiar with the Giant Mine, the Silver Bear Mines and the Canol Trail.

Can you explain how these funds will help the government work with indigenous partners to clean up these sites, while supporting local decision-making and economic participation?
