Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have similar comments to those that Mr. Ningark just made. In the case of the communities that I represent, Baker Lake and Arviat have talked about various access roads in those communities, not necessarily for hunting areas but for other purposes which relate to the municipalities. Arviat needs an access road for their water supply, which I think could be used also as roads for hunters. As illustrated by a number of Members from the east, the infrastructure we have in the east is very limited at this point. I think that the request of each of these communities to build access roads are needed by the communities and by the people. I speak especially for the hunters who have very limited resources, these are people who really do need assistance. I would like to point out to the Minister that there are concerns, there are requests for these very basic infrastructures, and we are not asking to build roads to create paved roads, but basic roads that are needed in the communities in the east. I think that we, as Members from the east, are bringing those concerns out more and more. I just wanted to re-iterate that. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
