Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Earlier in our sitting, I asked questions as to whether I could get a winter road into my communities. I was told that we do not have public roads into some of the communities. I see they are using public funds to put this winter road into Colville Lake. When I first looked at it, it said under the activity access roads. I could not find anywhere where I could get funds for access roads, even for a winter road. I am just wondering why the Minister, when he said there were activities going on in the community, there are activities going on in Wekweti, when I asked for funds for that, I was denied. The reasons given were there was no justification to do it. I am just wondering, diamond activities are not the same as oil and gas? I am not sure. I would like to know, how do we make sure the communities are fair when we do this funding?
