Committee Business
The committee proceeded to the consideration of matters related to committee business.

On motion of Philip Lawrence, it was agreed, — That, given reports in the media that Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation, Mikisew Cree First Nation and Fort Chipewyan Metis Nation were never told that the environment around a local Transport Canada operated dock was contaminated despite a report commissioned by the government in 2017 that found elevated levels of arsenic, nickel and hydrocarbons, the committee request all documents since 2017 relating to this dock from Transport Canada.

At 5:06 p.m., the committee adjourned to the call of the Chair.
