Mr. Chairman, thank you. The department has been following up on the suggestions made by Mr. Zoe, since meetings with the Standing Committee on Finance. At the present time, there are some assessments being made of the condition of the existing firehall in Edzo and the firehall in Rae. A suggestion was made that we should review the scheduling of this project with the firehall project for Rae that is scheduled for next year and discuss this with the hamlet council, with a view at looking at the scheduling of those two projects as well as the scope and the siting of the project in Rae, in particular. The discussion with the council hasn't occurred at this point, pending completion of the assessment of the condition of the two buildings.

(Translation) Mr. Chairman, I'm looking for an arena somewhere in the Baffin. I believe there were two communities. I would like to raise a question while we are on the Baffin. In Lake Harbour, they are supposed to build an arena. I believe they were going to put aside $10,000. I believe last year it was put in there, but I was looking for this in capital under MACA. Was it taken out, or is it still being planned for Lake Harbour? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

(Translation) Mr. Chairman, I've been looking through the book. I know that there are a couple of communities that were supposed to get them. I don't know what page they're on, and maybe it is not included in here, but they were going to put aside $10,000. It is included in here? Thank you.

John Ningark Natilikmiot

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. My colleague from Kitikmeot, the honourable Mr. Ng, has directed me to speak to an item of concern regarding Coppermine. I think the honourable Minister of MACA and her staff are aware of the water facility problem he had in Coppermine. I think no community in this particular jurisdiction, the NWT, should suffer because of low-quality drinking water, especially when the majority -- more than 50 per cent of the area -- of the Northwest Territories is covered with fresh water. I'm not going to elaborate any further because Mr. Ng has brought this matter before the Minister in this House and I'm sure the Minister and her staff are aware of the problem. I'm sure the regional staff of the Kitikmeot region of MACA are also aware of the problem in Coppermine.
