Chair, we have not identified specific cases, but I think we have to say that the risk is certainly there. The department has the responsibility to provide licences for landfill sites. As we note in the report a very, very small number have been issued. There is no assurance that those sites are not situated next to water sources or others. We talk about septic systems. There is absolutely no regulation for septic systems. So there is a very significant gap in the fact that provincial and municipal regulations do not apply on reserve, and the federal government has not addressed that gap.
It is, I think, interesting to note in the report that as we did our audit, the departments were quite clear with us that there was a question of funding. Should the committee ever decide to hold a hearing on this, that is certainly an issue to explore with them, because that came up as a reason quite frequently, and it is actually within our report that they commented about their difficulty in meeting all of their requirements because of a lack of funding.
