Mr. Speaker, as I said in my response, and I will say it again, the Minister of Transport is taking this matter seriously. She has heard the concerns of the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation, the Mikisew Cree and the Fort Chipewyan Métis Nation.
While recent studies have found that the wharf at Fort Chipewyan is not likely to pose risk to human health, Transport Canada is committed to collaborating and working with the first nations to address community concerns about potential contaminants at the dock.
Transport Canada will continue to work closely with the communities to address their concerns about the contamination.
