Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good day to you all. We should keep in mind that the issue on today's agenda is the chapter entitled “Sustaining Development in the Northwest Territories,” of the spring 2010 report of the Auditor General of Canada. The report states the following:INAC and Environment Canada have not met their responsibilities to monitor the cumulative impact of development and of various pollutants on the fragile environment in the NWT, whether or not a settled land claim is in place.
Mr. Wernick, what will you do to rectify the situation?
