Thank you, Madam Chair. I'll refer that to Vern.

Thank you, Madam Chair. The department has a very limited budget to do studies related to granular material development plans, assessing inventories and to assist the tax-based municipalities in that area, but we do some similar studies in communities other than the tax-based municipalities. We have focused our attention under this program to those communities that aren't addressed by Public Works and Services, under their granular materials program. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. This is going to be a hard one for me to address in any particular item in this budget. I am referring to development of granular sources for communities. I believe some of the granular sources are outside of the municipal boundaries. Who is responsible? Which department would be responsible? Would MACA be responsible for constructing access roads to these granular sources outside the municipal boundaries?

Thank you, Madam Chair. Typically, if a granular material source is required for community use and it's outside a municipal boundary, the access road to that project would be funded as part of the quarry development project by Public Works and Services. That would be the arrangement that it would normally be funded under. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Is the witness suggesting that the overall spearheading of that particular project would be with MACA?

Madam Chair, if the community identifies the source and it seems the most economic source, does the Department of MACA then take on the responsibility of obtaining funding to reach that source, or is that done by Transportation or DPW? I don't suppose it would be done by DPW.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Through the capital planning process, we would work with the community to identify the source of funding for the access road to the granular source that has been identified by the community.
