Thank you, Mr. Chair. I have a couple of questions.
There are two parts to this process. There's the first part, which is the contamination and the science attached to it. The second part is the capital with respect to the dock.
On the first part, the science and the effects of the contaminants are a concern. Minister, you're stating today that you're going to partner in a community-led process that's going to complete, basically, a community-based risk assessment that identifies the contaminants of concern, the updated risks attached to those contaminants—even going back to 1997—and, with that, finally, a plan of remediation.
Let's not forget, folks, that this goes back to 1997, so all parties have had an attachment to this issue. From 1997 it was to the Harper government and, of course, after that it is to our government today. However, let's not make a mistake about it: It's not as if nothing was done about this until today, and I give you that kudos as well as that appreciation, Minister, to you and your department, and to the folks who, quite frankly, are leading this process, the community.
As we move forward with that CBRA, that community-based risk assessment, with the CFCs being identified and the remediation plans being put in place, Minister, would you agree that it's very important that this be the process and, second, that it be led by the community?
