Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, all changes for any coverage under the Non-Insured Health Benefits Program go directly to the aboriginal organizations. We, as a matter of courtesy, get a copy of those changes after the fact. It is my understanding that the initial changes go to the aboriginal organizations first from Health Canada. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Regardless of who receives the copy first, could we not be proactive in notifying residents who would be affected by the changes? Would that be so difficult to do? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I do not know if we would try to notify the residents, but certainly, we could try to advise the physicians or the practitioners who are prescribing the drugs as soon as we would be aware of any proposed changes to the drug formula, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. To follow up on my question earlier to the Minister of Transportation, at this time, I would like to direct my question to the Minister of UNW. Today I still have not received any report from UNW since that accident yet. I was wondering if there was any report available? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

I wish I was the Minister for the UNW, Mr. Speaker. We would have signed an agreement by now, but I understand my colleague is talking about the WCB and the accident which occurred in Nanisivik. I was in discussions as late as yesterday with the WCB and I am optimistic that they will get an answer today. If not, certainly Monday morning and I apologize to my colleague. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the
Minister of Transportation, Mr. Antoine. It is in regard to these upcoming meetings in Normal Wells and Inuvik with regard to the roads and what not. I raised a question with the Minister in regard to the possibility of having the community of Aklavik make a presentation to the committee. I was wondering, is it possible for the Minister to invite the community of Aklavik to the meetings scheduled for Inuvik in regard to the Inuvik/Tuktoyaktuk road, so that they can possibly make a presentation at that time to the Planning Committee on Roads? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the strategy in the next little while is to have a meeting in Inuvik and there, we will be bringing in the stakeholders. We are going to do the same thing for the Mackenzie Valley and the Slave Geologic Province. Bringing in the stakeholders would be the mayors, chiefs and different leaders of the community together to have a workshop regarding the road between Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk to see what it will encompass. We will be looking at everything that is going to be encompassed in the whole approach. Such as, there are settlement lands we have to deal with. There are crown lands, and so forth, and the type of training and so forth. Everything is going to be discussed, hopefully, at these workshops. It will be a stakeholder's meeting for the Inuvik/Tuktoyaktuk road. There might be a possibility to raise the issue of concerns for Aklavik there as well. The main purpose of that stakeholders' workshop would be to deal with the Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk road. If Aklavik wants to be invited, we will invite them. Perhaps, there will be an opportunity to raise your concerns there. However, we could have our own people go into Aklavik, as we spoke about earlier by the department itself, solely just to deal with what it will encompass and what types of strategies would be required to start thinking about a road from, let us say, the Dempster Highway into Aklavik. There are two ways of dealing with it. I would prefer to go with my officials directly to Aklavik, with some of the planning staff, and deal directly with Aklavik first, to deal specifically with their request for the road. On the other hand if they want to participate, we could do that too. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to thank the Minister for making that effort to go into the community. Does the Minister have any idea when and how soon it would be possible to hold a meeting with the community of Aklavik and his departmental staff?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Can the Minister attempt, through letter or what not, to coordinate this effort with his department and the community to ensure that they are made aware ahead of time, so that they could coordinate this effort along with his department, and also ensure the right personnel are at this meeting? Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, I cannot remember. It was probably a month or so ago. I would have to look into it.
