Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This is exactly the reason I am asking the question because Aklavik is supposedly getting an addition to their school this summer. There is going to be money allocated to upgrade the water treatment facility which is in the capital plan. That is the reason the community has been asking for it, to ensure there is adequate gravel in the communities. They have been trying to access funds to bring the gravel into the community and stock pile it so when these activities happen, they have a stock pile in the community. In the case of Aklavik which sits on a flood plain because of its location, most of the time that is the only gravel they can depend on until the following spring where they can haul it out because there are no all-season roads in the area. It basically only has access with airports. This is why I am asking the Minister or deputy minister if they can work along with Aklavik to ensure they have these dollars available to them when these facilities are being built, especially in the case of the summer - it is almost spring time - and the school addition is supposed to be constructed this summer and the same thing, with the upgrade of the water treatment plant, which has been allocated for this and next year.
