Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The water supply source in Trout Lake is close to the community. However, in Arctic Bay, it's some distance away, I forget the exact distance, but it's some 10 kilometres, I believe. With trucked services, in the case of Arctic Bay, there is road access to the water lake. The intention, ultimately, would be to build a truck-fill station at that water lake for the community. However, why the improvements are happening in Trout Lake now and not happening in Arctic Bay is largely due to the priorities that have been established by the community in the capital planning discussions that have gone on. There has been some higher priority put on some other projects within the department's capital budget.
