Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As I have indicated many times in the past three years, building a new road to facilitate all-terrain vehicles is very important in my region and in the region of the honourable Minister himself. More hunters are utilizing all-terrain vehicles to go hunting, especially in the summer.
As everyone knows, job opportunities are few in smaller communities and buying all-terrain vehicles is getting very expensive. So, when we talk about building a road to accommodate all-terrain vehicles, we are talking about economic development. Such roads would facilitate hunting, tourism and recreation. I know the honourable Minister does not speak for the other department, but perhaps when we build a road to accommodate all-terrain vehicles, maybe each department could get together. Renewable Resources, because we are talking about hunting, Economic Development because we are talking about tourism, and MACA because we are talking about recreation. Recreation is one of the healthier forms of life. I hope that the honourable Minister will make every effort to finalize the situation so we can build some roads.
We are not talking about large roads, we are talking about all-terrain vehicle roads. Mr. Chairman, when I travel to Gjoa Haven this is an issue. It is the same thing in Taloyoak, formerly known as Spence Bay and also in Pelly Bay. I have talked to the Minister privately and also in the House. I wonder if the Minister will consider this very seriously. Thank you.
