In my riding the Department of National Defence owns a property. It used to be an ordnance depot. It's directly now beside the site where they're building a large amount of housing. There's a community park. It's quite an active area. When I started to look at the potentials of the use of DND land—as in building housing and the uses of it—I discovered that it's listed under the federal contaminated sites inventory. It's an active site of chlorinated volatile organic compounds contamination with high priority for action.
Now, the government spent nearly $18 million on remediation of this site. There have been 38,600 metric tons of soil treated and 48.5 million litres of contaminated water. Can you comment on the scope of this site and, then, what you would have expected your departments, the custodian DND, to communicate, related to the scope of that contaminated site, to the community?
