This certainly is a very important issue that, quite frankly, has gone on for far too many years. I remember having those little mercury thermometers as a young child, and the warnings about if your thermometer broke. Those were little beads. We're talking about barrels and barrels leaking into the river, so it's absolutely a significant concern.
Mr. Carreau, are children in Grassy Narrows still being born with levels of mercury that are in excess of the minimum standard or threshold that you talked about?

This brings me to Jordan's principle and the comments that Mr. Conn was making. Jordan's principle is that we don't argue about how we're going to fund it when there are jurisdictional issues. We get it done, and then we have the argument with the provinces later.
From what I'm hearing, it sounds as though you're not applying Jordan's principle to the discussions to say that we go ahead. We should commit to what's needed and then talk with the provinces and figure it out.
Can you explain why you're not applying Jordan's principle to this particular issue because we don't have things worked out with the province, etc.?

It sounded, certainly earlier, that perhaps it wasn't as robust as we might expect.
In your comments, Mr. Conn, you talked about the minister going to Grassy Narrows to discuss. From my understanding, he went to Grassy Narrows to sign, and his testimony on Tuesday indicated he did go there to sign, not to discuss.
Was Grassy Narrows provided with an MOA prior to the minister's conversation on the telephone the night before he went to Grassy Narrows? Did they have an MOA to look at when the minister had the discussion on the night before he went?

There was general agreement, but we always know that the dollars are what matter, so why would you think you could go in and sign an agreement when you hadn't discussed the dollars? To me, that was, first of all, so disappointing for the community. I understand that a feast was planned and all the signals were out there, but we all know that, if you haven't talked the dollars, you haven't really come to an agreement.

Again, I think we're talking about some of the most critical pieces of the conversation: what the structure of the support will be in terms of dollars. For that even not to have been in the memorandum of agreement and not part of the conversation, and then your going to the community.... I mean, surely that is such a gap in what happened in this particular case.
Where are we now? I guess we'll certainly hear from Chief Turtle, but what is the issue with the funding?

First of all, I do want to note that I absolutely agree with my colleague, Dr. Hogg, asking why we are not starting the building and taking the time. I think we can chew gum and walk, and I think it should absolutely be going ahead.
The following is what I really want to know. I'll ask the environmental officials, though maybe it will be the next panel that will give us some additional information. Has all of the source been identified and is there a plan to clean up all of the source pollution?

Thank you, and thank you to the witnesses. I'm going to summarize what I think we've heard this morning.
First of all, it's an issue that's gone on for over 60 years. The impacts of the mercury poisoning have been tragic and dramatic.
Was it 10 tonnes, Mr. Miklas, that I heard you say was released directly into the river?

I want to go back to my analogy this morning. In those same years, we were told that if we dropped a thermometer, we should look for the little beads of mercury and be extra cautious, yet we're hearing the number 10 tonnes. We are also hearing that potentially there is still discharge into the river and that children are being born with mercury contamination levels that exceed...and will be impacting their health.
Chief Turtle, I can't imagine what you've been through over the last number of years. I congratulate you for your perseverance.
We also heard about this whole issue around the agreement. We understood that the minister was going to go.... There was an agreement that you talked about that was going to be signed. I find it absolutely stunning that the issues were not worked out prior to his coming to a signing ceremony. It's very clear what your interests were.
Can you maybe talk about what happened there? We all expected good news to come out of that particular day when the minister came to your community. I understood that you were ready and prepared to sign and had a celebration organized.

Okay. Are you optimistic, because, of course, we're now into June, that you're close enough to getting the deal that you want and need? Are you optimistic at this point that those additional issues can be addressed?

Thank you, Madam Chair. Also, thank you to the minister for coming today.
I think it would be very appropriate as we had the ceremony yesterday for the missing and murdered indigenous women and girls to maybe reflect on a few things that happened out of that ceremony.
I know we had talked certainly about a priority—I believe it was a shared priority—that number one, the families out of the process have some peace and closure. I know some were in attendance yesterday but I'm wondering if your department plans to follow up in any way to ensure that the process actually moves their healing in a positive direction as opposed to not.
What is your plan? Of course, the commission is done as of June 30. We absolutely all need to recognize the tremendous effort it took for those families to share their stories and the difficult journeys they've had.

Thank you.
You and I both sat, of course, on a special committee in the last Parliament where we spent a year reading through many reports and heard from many witnesses.
One of your key priorities was for this commission to identify systemic issues. Can you name any new systemic issues that you felt were identified through this process that you were unaware of through all your time in previous Parliaments and in your current role? Are there any new systemic issues that you believe were identified through the process?
