Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to talk about some problems I have in my riding. Water problems are still a major issue, not only in the community of Fort McPherson, but it is now apparent in Tsiigehtchic and Aklavik.

The Tsiigehtchic problem, which has been around for several months, is because of the problem with the existing water treatment facility, or the lack of chlorite chlorination in the water treatment plant, and the community had to deal with very bad water. The colour was almost brown.

Also, another major problem the community has faced is the whole area of policing, and the lack of police services in that community because of the size of the community. The whole policing services is still an issue.

Another issue we face in our communities is the lack of infrastructure when it comes to housing for our teachers, our service providers. I think it is important as a government that when we set goals and priorities, we take into account the problems our communities are facing.

In the community of Aklavik, again, there has been a major stress in regard to the problem with H. pylori, which is a carcinogen in the water system. It has been called for by a doctor to do a public review and to test the population of Aklavik to see what the extent of that problem is. Yet, Mr. Speaker, the problem is still there and nothing has been done.

Another area is in regard to the petitions and motions directed to this government asking for a curling rink in Aklavik. There again, their efforts are still not being adhered to.

Another area is dealing with the alcohol and drug program and the people that have to provide the service to the people in Aklavik, where the building they are working out of has been condemned by the Department of Health because of the problem with the frozen sewage system. They are not allowed to hold any gatherings with their clients in the building because of that problem. The working conditions of the people we have in our communities is abhorrent.

Another problem has to do with Fort McPherson, which has come up in my last visit. There is a major problem with the existing recreation complex, which we have put millions of dollars into, yet to date, the problems are still there.

I feel that we as a government have to do more...
