Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I find it awfully offensive when I ask questions and I get the answer that, we have not heard anything back from the community. I am the one that is representing the Mackenzie Delta in this budget review. I am the only person that is sitting here from the Mackenzie Delta to have an opportunity to speak against the budget. Any questions we ask to the budget, in association as a Member of a riding, for her to challenge me and say she has not heard anything about it, or make a comment that I have to wait until I get something back from the community. I am the representative of that community. I am making a statement on behalf of that community and I would like the Minister to answer those questions as the Minister responsible for this portfolio. For her to tell me she has not received anything, if she wants to go through Hansard or look at motions that have been passed in the House on this particular issue in regard to the flooding situation in Aklavik, there are Member's statements I made in this House on the same matter in regard to the incident last spring and to documents that are filed by her department. The water treatment upgrade for Aklavik is In the budget review. One of the concerns they have is the quality of water they have in the springtime because of flooding. Mr. Chairman, I do not think it is appropriate for myself to have to reiterate exactly who I am, or who I represent and what right I have in this House as a Member. I do not think it is courteous of the Minister or her department to answer in such a manner to a Member of this

Legislature who represents the constituents we represent. With that Mr. Speaker, I would like to report progress.
