Statements in Debates
Thank you, Mr. Chair. Now that I know what section we're on. Contaminated sites, I'd just like to ask about strategic oil and gas and what's happening with that and where in the department is it if we're looking at remediation, if the Minister could respond to that. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Speaker, and I thank you for letting me put my name in earlier today for this.
