This review should, i<strong>de</strong>ally, be compl<strong>et</strong>ed by the end of the summer and fun<strong>de</strong>d out of the<br />
IJC’s current budg<strong>et</strong>. I would propose that the Commission review the environmental assessment<br />
con<strong>du</strong>cted by Vermont, in or<strong>de</strong>r to provi<strong>de</strong> an in<strong>de</strong>pen<strong>de</strong>nt assessment to governments as to<br />
wh<strong>et</strong>her this new project complies with the Boundary Waters Treaty. This review would provi<strong>de</strong><br />
the necessary record of <strong>de</strong>cision regarding compliance with the Treaty and should, i<strong>de</strong>ally, be<br />
compl<strong>et</strong>ed by the end of the summer. The Government of Canada would be pleased to provi<strong>de</strong><br />
technical advice to assist in your assessment.<br />
Resi<strong>de</strong>nts in the region have serious concerns about their water quality and I am confi<strong>de</strong>nt<br />
that the IJC’s review will be an important contribution to efforts to improve conditions in<br />
<strong>Missisquoi</strong> Bay.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
