If I can address the first question which was asked. I would like to go back to the community roads. We are in the process of, based upon the initiative taken and the request taken by the Standing Committee on Finance, trying to draft a community type agreement with municipalities as to how these roads can be built, et cetera. It is important to clear that up. I agree with the honourable Member and I appreciate his comments that there should be more money in that particular function and I will look forward to his support when I bring it forward in the standing committee, which I am sure I will get.

On the issue of the spills and containment, I understand after the situation which took place at the ferry in the Fort Providence area, that the department has taken steps to improve the equipment and, in particular, the training with respect to oil spills. They have also increased the regulations to ensure the carriers meet with the compliancies of the act. I will be bringing forward, probably this week or next week, the annual report for 1992 on the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act. This will spell out some of the changes which are necessary and the procedures that will take place to avoid the situation which took place earlier last year. There is a recognition of the importance in the environment. With the enormity of the issues in Scotland and in Alaska over the last two or three years, there is clearly a recognition by this department and this government that while our problems maybe small ones, they could be big ones, and therefore we have to make sure we have the proper rules and compliance in place. I am confident we are moving in that direction. There is no question, as Mr. Whitford has said, we certainly need to improve upon our fast reaction equipment and training and that is what we are endeavouring to do at the present time.

It is my understanding, that there has been an improvement in the equipment availability at the ferry and also some additional training done with the staff or the contractors who run that operation.
