December 17, 1968 (28th Parliament, 1st Session)

Hon. Jack Davis (Minister of Fisheries):

Mr. Speaker, this is not a matter of pollution but rather a matter of controlled enrichment. Fertilizers such as phosphates and nitrates are being introduced into a number of small ponds. This is a controlled process. The enrichment process can be followed by a de-enrichment process whereby the lakes can be returned to their original state. This experiment is being carried out in co-operation with the department of lands and forests of Ontario, and the situation is under control.
