Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of the Environment.
Last week, we learned that there are still large amounts of PCB-contaminated sediments on the site of the Irving Whale wreck. Before the operation to lift this barge, concentrations of 400 to 900 parts per million had been found in contaminated samples.
Given the substantial and troubling presence of PCBs, what does the minister intend to do in the very short term to correct this situation, which directly threatens all the fishery resources in that part of the Gulf of St. Lawrence?
