-----two people in their seventies who will need grant aid to upgrade their septic tank. If the Minister sends out an army of inspectors who force those unfortunate people to meet very high and stringent standards which they will not be able to be meet, I appeal to him to give an upfront commitment that he will try to help those families, particularly those who cannot afford it. Let us work together to improve ground water and water quality. We want to do that. I am sincere in saying that.
