Mr. Chairman, just with regard to this one here. I know that, just previously, we were discussing transportation, and one of the things is that certain roads in the communities are the responsibility of the municipality. I do not recall having seen a lot of roads going into the community of

Fort Franklin. I am curious under what rationale the department is using to say that in Fort Franklin there are highways?

Mr. Chairman, the honourable Member is correct, there is not an all year road in there. At one time, N.T.C.L. used to provide freight services into Fort Franklin, and a number of years ago they discontinued that service. Each year, in order to ship material and supplies into Fort Franklin, these expenditures are going to the development of that winter road access.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In the committee we were wondering why M.A.C.A. is contributing $75,000 to the Aklavik Community Corporation, and why was this not funded under another department, such as Culture or Social Services?

Mr. Chairman, I will try to explain. On August 4, 1989, Cabinet approved 20 year leases for office spaces for the band councils at Fort Norman, Aklavik, Fort Providence, and Fort Smith. Previously, there was similar approval provided to the Fort McPherson Band Council.

Office space for the Aklavik Band Council was leased in the new office building of Koblunaq. Koblunaq is owned by the Inuvialuit Development Corporation, as a private corporation, and the value of the band council is over a 20 year period. There were difficulties caused in one community because there was leased space for the band council, and in the same community, it was felt that there was a great deal of pressure of the Minister responsible for Aboriginal Affairs as there was an inconsistency and an unfairness because one group of people had a lease, and there was no support for the other group who were in a similar situation. So this was a one time payment to get over the political complications of treating one group differently than the other.
