Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Many years ago, when I was a senior administrative officer for the hamlet of Pelly Bay, we requested a sewage truck for the community. It was under difficult circumstances because Pelly Bay is served by air only. Time went by and we got a sewage truck from Cambridge Bay. That machine did not last very long and it was very costly for the community. The deputy minister says that they are instructed by a person who works for DPW, but I am wondering if all the used equipment that is given to the communities is, in fact, in very good working condition. I don't have faith in the system whereby, when a community is so far away from the supplier, then the possibility of that equipment breaking down before the next fiscal year is very good. I hope the Minister and deputy minister will make a note of my concern. Thank you.
