Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As a result of a recent visit to the community of Nahanni Butte by the standing committee, Members expressed concern with the inadequacy of the current water supply operation. The five-year capital plan budgets $1.018 million in 1997-98 for the water supply improvements. This appears to be far away for such a basic need. We are subsequently informed by the Minister that a well was previously developed complete with the sophisticated treatment process, however, this facility has failed to operate satisfactorily as a suitable local individual has not been identified and trained properly. This represents a new job for the community. The Minister indicates it is up to the Band Council to identify this person. The Minister did not indicate the nature of the water supply improvements for $1.018 million in 1997-98 in this light.
