Madam Chairman, there is more to the Canadian forces than the main battle tank even though that party does not seem to think so perhaps.
However I think we do have a responsibility. For example, we have had some contamination problems near our property at Val Cartier. As a result we helped hook up people in the nearby community of Shannon to our clean water system because of trouble they were having from underground contamination emanating from another site. It migrated in through defence property so it was a concern to us.
We have the old DEW line system up north and the contamination there. Earlier construction had PCB in the paint. We are a responsible steward for the environment. We want ensure we clean up these matters. We have focused our attention which is part of our government responsibility to do so. Are not all members concerned about the environment? Do not all departments take responsibility for ensuring that they do their best to clean up the environment? That is what we are doing.
