Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Again, like my colleague, Kenoayoak Pudlat, I recognize the honourable Minister for being very straightforward in dealing with our communities and our concerns. I know that the honourable Minister is not able to provide every request from the Northwest Territories, but he is trying his very best given the means and ways that he has within his department.

One of the things that I would like to recognize or commend the Minister for, is that there is an endeavour in Gjoa Haven to construct a road to 30-Mile Lake. I hope the Minister will consider this very seriously. For one thing, it's going to facilitate recreation in the community. There are no parks in the community as is the case in the larger centres. Also, a tourism facility would entail extra income for the community and also facilitate hunting. Subsequently, would provide

subsistence for the community within the limited opportunity in that community.

There is another request from the hamlet of Pelly Bay to build an all-terrain vehicle access road to Barrow Lake which is about 12 kilometres from the community. Also, Taloyoak, I think is planning to upgrade the road to Meadow Lake which was built many years ago. It is usable by trucks, but it is not very far from the community. I hope the honourable Minister and his staff will keep that in mind. Other than that, I don't have too many comments on this department.

I would also like to thank the Minister and express the appreciation of the community of Pelly Bay for bringing the barge into the community during the summer-time. They were able to bring in over one million litres of heating fuel, and I think this is providing a saving to the Government of the Northwest Territories. Sometime in the future, I hope we will be able to bring general supplies to that community. It gets to be very expensive bringing things by air. Also, I think we are very lucky because in the past we were able to get some fresh produce to the community from other points, in ways other than by air. I think bringing in supplies by barge is another way of transporting general supplies into the community. I don't want to prolong discussion on this matter, so thank you, Mr. Chairman. There was no question. Maybe it was question regarding access roads to hunting areas, tourism areas and so on. Thank you.
