Thanks, Mr. Chair.
Gentlemen, thank you for being here. General Poulter, it's good to see you again.
Minister, many Canadians across Canada are understandably concerned about the effects of environmental contamination, as you know. I note in the supplementary estimates that there are funds transferred to Indian Affairs and Northern Development. These are to pay for the costs required for the clearance, remediation, and transfer of the former Camp Ipperwash to the Chippewas of Kettle and Stony Point First Nation.
Sir, can you expand on this transfer and can you discuss more generally the view of the Department of National Defence on the cleanup of these contaminated sites?
