Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Particularly with respect to the community marine facilities in Aklavik, the department is aware of the community's request and we have done some preliminary analysis. We do plan on sending department staff to Aklavik this coming spring to take a look at the issues, problems and consult with the community and NTCL and the Power Corporation, then we plan to prepare some options for the community marine infrastructure needs of Aklavik. Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, I would just like to go back to page 10-14, just to point out a number. If we are going to approve it, the number is wrong.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would just like to point out there, the Minister made a statement yesterday saying they just opened up 165 kilometres of winter road to Colville Lake. In the book here it says they only have 1,400 kilometres, but in the statement he referred to 1,465 kilometres. I am just wondering if there is a mistake in the kilometres. If we are going to approve this, as the winter road was open yesterday and they are fully maintaining it, it should be included in here.

Mr. Chairman, I am advised the statement I made yesterday with regard to the number of kilometres is correct.

I agree with the Minister that his statement was correct, but we are approving this the way it is written, so if we could have a change on this before we approve it?

Thank you, Mr. Lafferty. Probably just for clarification, what we are approving is the dollars attached to it that goes into the bill itself. The actual detail will be in Bill 19. We are not approving the words of how it is written up. We are approving the dollars attached to it. Mr. Steen, would you like to respond to that?

Mr. Chairman, if the Member is asking me to correct that number, I cannot do that.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I notice the budget here has gone up considerably in the last couple of years in this area. I had thought that the community access roads program was $50,000 per community per year. I was just wondering if we could get an idea, is that still the way the program works?

Mr. Chairman, it is my understanding that the program is still limited to $50,000 a year per community.
