Qujannamiik. (Translation) Mr. Chairman, recently the MLA for Aivilik, James Arvaluk, said that some of the vehicles are used for paving or smoothing out the roads. Some of the equipment is easily breakable because, of course, the material on the equipment is not as sturdy as the material it encounters. Particularly, when they are working on paving the roads and maintaining the airstrips, they wear out and they tend to break down after a while. So, my question to the Minister through you, Mr. Chairman, is, on the vehicles and maintenance machinery that the municipal corporations own and receive from the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs, how long is the shelf life? How long is the useful life of these vehicles supposed to be? I am sure this varies with the different types of machinery, meaning water trucks, sewage trucks and different kinds of maintenance vehicles that get replaced. How often are they replaced? How many years is the useful life for our dump trucks and sewage trucks and other maintenance types of vehicles? They probably get replaced after "X" number of years. Can you provide how long the life is, for these vehicles? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
