Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you, colleagues. In regard to the airport, it means that there will be less flights into Aklavik which means there will be more costs associated with having to bring goods in with smaller aircraft than having the ability to have larger aircraft supply the community which is isolated.
The other concern that the community has is in relation to gravel. This matter has been brought up several times by myself and it is a concern to the community. The poor condition they find their roads in and not having an adequate gravel source, the community feels they need gravel supplied locally due to the high cost of bringing it in.
Another point the community has is the high cost of fuel and gas in the community. Mr. Speaker, a lot of us here take the costs of gas for granted, but in Aklavik, it costs over 90 cents a litre. Ten gallons of gas, which is almost 50 litres, costs almost $45. Mr. Speaker, these are some of the concerns that have been raised by my constituents in Aklavik and I will be asking the Ministers concerned on these different matters. Thank you.
