Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for appearing.
What we've heard in past testimony is that for each contaminated site, the steward of that site has full control over the site. In the case of DND, they are responsible for whatever happens on that site, for testing and for communications and all of that.
You are experts in your field. In your determination.... We have base commanders, but we have environmental officers who are making these decisions for the health and safety of their people. What kinds of qualifications are truly needed to be able to do that work, to determine that a site—a Bagotville or what have you—is actually safe? I don't know if you know, but are those environmental officers trained to have that level of expertise?
