Another concern, especially from the community of Aklavik and also the mayor, is that they were told that they were going to be kept in the loop on what is happening on this project. They were going to be involved all the way through the design stage, the development, and I believe they had one public meeting on it.

The community made some recommendations to the people from Public Works and Health and Social Services, but yet the community has not heard back, nor have they come back, and now they are being told that there is a delay in the project and that also they have to cut back on the different designs of the health centre. Yet the community was told right from the start that they were going to be involved in the design, what not, of the heath centre.

On one hand, we talk about empowering communities. Giving communities more input into design of what they lack in their communities. They are the ones that have to live with what the final results are.

However, when it comes to having input, people within the government seem to lose sight of ensuring that they are kept involved all the way through the process.

So I would like to ask the Minister, exactly what is her department doing to ensure that we do have involvement of community members and people from the health centres involved in the design of new facilities, because they are the ones that have to work in these facilities, in the communities, and the ones that are going to use these?

So, in the case of Aklavik, that is a concern that I have heard from my constituency and especially from the Mayor of Aklavik.
