This is something that I have been asking the Minister about. The communities along the coast that I represent depend a lot on their boats and what not that they use for whaling out in the ocean. However, we do not have a community marina in Aklavik. I am wondering what it would take for a community like Aklavik that depends on boat transportation not only within the Delta but also within the Beaufort Sea. Has the department done any studies to look at the distance between Aklavik and the coastal plain?

Sometimes you get a lot of movement of water, especially when you get a strong north wind. That does have a real effect on people's ability to store their boats. Because of that, is there a possibility of the community of Aklavik gaining access to this type of funding so they can build a wharf to deal with the waves that come in from the ocean?
