Thank you very much.
Mr. Hammerschmidt, I want to come back to what was mentioned. I understand that you knew before November 2022 that there was a risk of contamination.
I'd like to know two things. First, on what date were provincial or municipal authorities notified? Second, at that time, what was the highest rate of contamination on record in a water source outside the Bagotville site? When the situation was discovered, researchers collected samples with a contamination rate of 129 nanograms per litre of water. What was the rate recorded on your end?
I imagine you don't have that information on hand, but I would appreciate it if you could send it to the committee. Furthermore, when a contaminated site is discovered, that information is passed on to the legal department or the Department of Justice, since there is a risk of lawsuits or individual claims. At what point are they involved in the process?
