Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We will cover the full costs of extraordinary maintenance. I know in the eastern territory, when the culverts get blocked off, it is very, very difficult to thaw them out. What the communities have done, I do not know if they do it in the western arctic, is that they put a half inch, or a quarter inch pipe inside the culvert, and they put fluids in it that do not freeze.
It is a lot cheaper for the community to make a hole through a culvert that way than to steam it. I think that technology could be applied where the Member is concerned, and it is quite cheap to do that. Cheaper than buying the big equipment. I think that the community got a steamer from Hay River the last time, and if they could do that, we would encourage it.
For extraordinary maintenance, the department will assist the community, or pay for the whole shot of the extraordinary maintenance cost for that type of thing. Thank you.
