Madam Speaker, the governor of the state of North Dakota gave us a very concrete example. He indicated that if we were that concerned about the quality of water that was going to come out of Devils Lake, why would the Canadian government not invest in the $20 million sand filter? It is a $20 million cost. When I see the money that is being spent by the House, why would the government not simply say that it will come up with the $20 million and have it installed in order to preserve half of the water supply of the northern half of the North American continent?
That is a very simple proposal and something we could say to the Americans, “Let us do it right now. Here is the $20 million. Let us do it”.
