Thank you, Mr. Allen. Supplementary, Mr. Krutko.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, can the Minister clarify exactly how much money does the community have to fundraise for this effort?

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. The honourable Minister responsible for the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs, Mr. Allen.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. At this point, we do not have any specific projections. If the report is not conclusive and not satisfactory to the municipality, we would like to do further assessments on the amount of repairs and we will report back. Thank you.

Thank you, Minister Allen. Supplementary, Mr. Krutko.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, could the Minister make an attempt to ensure that the community of Aklavik, through his department of Municipal and Community Affairs, either through the Inuvik office or his office here in Yellowknife, that they have someone in Aklavik to basically talk to the community and members of the curling club to let them know exactly where they do stand and exactly where this government is going with this effort, so that they can try to work this out by dialogue rather than having to pass letters back and forth where we do not seem to be getting anywhere. Can he make that attempt?

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. The honourable Minister responsible for the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs, Mr. Allen.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, we have continued dialogue with the community. It has been a valiant effort on behalf of the community, I must admit. As I said earlier, the initial projection was about $219,000 to refurbish the building. We want to do further estimates on the building and we will again communicate that back to the curling club. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Minister. Final supplementary, Mr. Krutko.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the Minister, is this the practice of the government that all recreation facilities built in our communities, that the community has to raise money on their own to offset some of those costs? There are other facilities that are being presently built in the budget for other municipalities and communities. Is that the practice?

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. The honourable Minister responsible for the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs, Mr. Allen.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am not aware of past historical practice, although for a number of new initiatives in the communities in respect of capital funding for facilities, we prefer to consider that as we want to again reinvest much of our monies into programming dollars. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Minister. Item 6, oral questions. The honourable Member for Mackenzie Delta, Mr. Krutko.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister responsible for Transportation. We are having awfully mild weather this fall. The Mackenzie River at the Arctic Red Ferry crossing does not have any water to date, and the same with the Peel River.

I would like to ask the Minister, can the department extend the season for as long as we can to ensure that any trucks or loads that are coming from the south are able to get through to Inuvik, knowing that we are probably having a later fall than usual? Can the Minister let me know if it is possible to extend the season this year for those ferry crossings?

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. The honourable Minister responsible for the Department of Transportation, Mr. Steen.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in the past, we have always timed the closing times of the ferries along with weather. We also take into consideration funding that we have available for that particular service and program. We continue to do that. I can assure the Member that I will take the question to the department and have the department consider it and get back to the Member. Thank you.
