Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There is a national committee struck to deal with the need to improve roads and reconstruct old roads and new construction of new roads. My department is party to that committee in which each jurisdiction will contribute to the fund that the NWT, might be able to tap into to properly reconstruct or pave roads for the NWT, thereby assisting my department to deal with the problems of washouts, new road construction and rehabilitation of the old roads. All the provinces will be contributing to that fund.
Also, the territorial transportation strategy is being looked at by premiers and also other Transportation Ministers of the country, because we do contribute quite a bit to the economy of other provinces in terms of purchases from other provinces, and also shipping is very important to the Northwest Territories and other provinces.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I understand this is the section that I would be asking about this gravel pit in Arviat. I am just wondering if the Minister is aware of the situation in Arviat. Thank you.

It sounds as though I am getting the runaround here. There is another item that I wanted to discuss in this area, because I cannot emphasize enough the need for the waterline in Arviat. I mentioned twice in December of 1991, twice in March, and earlier this session, the need for the water line. Something that the community has been requesting and should have been considered by government a long time ago is now finally being considered. I know it takes a long time to get anything going when it concerns capital, but to say that this was a request originally made close to 10 years ago -- I think it is ridiculous to have that happen. I just wanted to re-emphasize the need for the waterline in Arviat. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Mr. Chairman, for Municipal and Community Affairs in regard to their capital, just to follow-up on what my colleague is saying, does the department have a plan in regard to a gravel survey? Have they done it in all the communities in the Territories? As the Minister is aware, there is a gravel shortage in my area, too, and I am just wondering if the department has done anything in terms of planning to search for gravel.

Mr. Chairman, as I mentioned earlier, without trying to pass the buck, this area does not fall within my department. It is dealt with by the ministry of Public Works. Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, the gravel I am making reference to is for the use of municipalities. I realize the Minister is indicating he does not want to pass the buck, but my understanding was that the initiation of the gravel search has to be co-ordinated by his office. Since he is the lead department, I am asking his department, what initiatives are they taking in regard to a gravel search?
