It was the honourable Member, Mr. Ningark, who raised the issue of community access roads, in the House, last year. A number of other Members also raised it. The previous budget under the former Minister, Mr. Whitford, was $250,000. I think I said in my opening comments earlier this week, that I see community access roads as an important policy or program to allow people -- as Mr. Ningark said -- to access whether it's fishing, hunting or recreational areas. It is our intention to...We've moved the budget to $650,000 in 1994-95 and, I believe, it's projected to move to $1 million in 1996-97. There will be a policy in place very shortly which will allow us to move forward with a joint initiative between the departments and municipalities or other groups where we can provide, hopefully, over a period of time, some dollars to build what we call access roads. I would caution everybody, when we talk about access roads we're not talking about highways. We're talking about a road that would be capable of a four-wheel truck or a recreational vehicle. It is our intention to move forward with that. It is in the budget.
We are getting requests from the communities and we're trying to work out a plan to do that. We have a request from Gjoa Haven and Pelly Bay. We also have a request from Arviat, Baker Lake and Coral Harbour, Mr. Zoe. There are a number of requests out there because of this policy. We're going to endeavour to do the best we can with the limited resources we have. Thank you.
