Edward Picco Iqaluit

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, on the total activity, is it possible at this time, for the Minister if the municipality of Iqaluit makes a request to have some projects moved into the five-year capital plan, after consultation with the department some time in the next few weeks to have that done? I know there is not any money identified now, but I am saying in the five-year capital plan, so when the new Nunavut government is set up, the money would be there for a specific project, if that is what the community desires? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, we intend to consult with the community of Iqaluit, and for the five-year capital plan, anything is possible. However, for the new Nunavut government, we have to consult with the Interim Commissioner for the later part of the five-year capital plan. We are saying that anything is possible into the five-year capital plan. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Under the contributions Fort Smith region, the access road to Lac La Martre River Falls. I am curious about last year's allocation. Did we have the same amount last year working towards the Lac La Martre Falls or is this a new one for this summer?
