Thank you, Madam Speaker. My question is for the Minister responsible for Government Services. It is in regard to Trout Lake. For two weeks now, the furniture for their new building has been sitting in Simpson. They have a new water truck and sewer wagon that is supposed to go on the loader. I would like to ask the Minister if the supplies have arrived in Trout Lake by this time or not?

Thank you, Madam Speaker. The truck that was supposed to haul this material and the fuel pump belong to a local contractor. I've instructed the department to get the office furniture, the water tank and the sewer tank in the community today. It is supposed to be there. Thank you.

I don't know if this is the result of the equipment not being in the community sooner, but a building burned down the other night. The chemicals in the fire truck weren't useful and the water tank was too small and froze up, so this building burned down. Sixty chickens got fried to death.
---Laughter
The chicken coop burned down and they lost their chickens. The community doesn't have any more eggs, I guess. It is funny but, at the same time, if it were a bigger building with people living in it, I think they would have had some problems. The community wanted me to ask the Minister when this equipment was going to be in, and the sooner the better. If it is confirmed for Friday...I don't know if there is a question in this, Madam Speaker, but...
---Laughter
Could the Minister tell me for sure that this equipment is going into the community today? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I've instructed the department to do everything possible to get the water tank, the sewer tank and the furniture for the office into Trout Lake by today. Their response was that it was a local contractor that had the contract and the fuel pump is on a truck that is awaiting parts. I know the Fort Simpson area and I know there are other tractors available in the area, so I've instructed them to hire another tractor and take that equipment over. Thank you.
