Mr. Speaker, I think, quite clearly, the answer is for both federal governments, the United States and Canada, to move forward with a high tech filtration system.
There is no question that people in Manitoba have experienced floods. As a resident on Lake Winnipeg, who has been flooded, I understand what the residents surrounding Devils Lake are dealing with. However, an investment is required and quickly. The longer it is left, the greater the damage undertaken both monetarily in terms of resources and as a toll on individuals.
The solution is a joint approach to the installation of the high tech filter and it should be done in an expeditious way. It is time to stop talking and time to start doing.
