Thank you, Mr. Speaker. There seems to have been a lot of questions asked on the issue of flooding in Aklavik. I can say that my staff has been monitoring the flood in Aklavik daily and we are doing everything we can to help the community. The community seems to be satisfied with the initiatives that we have put in place for the emergency measures in regards to the flood in Aklavik. It has not been an extreme emergency situation as yet, but we are monitoring it every day. Now, in regards to infrastructure, there is no new money coming for building, I think he said a new hospital? We will investigate dykes and drains further, but I have not had any serious concerns from the community as to what infrastructure they want. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
