Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As I stated before, our department will go up there to make an assessment and look at options for the community. As soon as they come back with the report, we will sit with the MLA, David Krutko, and work with him closely on that issue so that he doesn't have to depend on another private consultant to do the job. I will make sure that there is attention paid to this issue, and we will work closely with the MLA on this issue. Thank you.

I would like to ask the Minister regarding the water system upgrading in Rae-Edzo $30,000 forecast. I wonder what this upgrading is all about.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There is the item of the water upgrading system for Rae-Edzo for $30,000. Every year, the water level seems to be coming down at the West Channel. The water seems to be freezing to the ground. What kind of upgrading system are you planning to do with this $30,000?

Mr. Chairman, the $12,000 identified for Rae-Edzo in this fiscal year is to complete work that has been done on the lagoon in Rae over the last few years. Prior years' spending on this amounts to almost $1 million. There is just a small amount of work to be done this year, with respect to warranty and turnover to the hamlet. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

The one I am referring to is the water system upgrading in Rae-Edzo. That doesn't seem to apply to the sewer system. It is $30,000 this year. There is another one for the water treatment plant for $100,000 in Rae. That specifically identifies Rae.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This particular project is to replace some of the water lines in Rae that are part of their water mains and are in bad condition and need replacement. It is a replacement of about 100 metres of line in the Rae system.
