Thank you, Mr. Lafferty. Mr. Steen.

Mr. Chairman, it was not a situation of speed. It was a situation of the trucks having chains on them, and they were not removing their chains because they used the chains to go on the winter road. They were not just talking about one or two trucks a day. We are talking about a fair number of trucks every day. They were hauling water to the winter roads and in the wintertime these same trucks were accessing the municipal sewage lagoon using chains as well. It was something that was ongoing. I believe that the community, after dealing with it for one year, they know what is necessary now to prevent this happening again to their road and they will take the necessary precautions. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Steen. Mr. Lafferty.

Thank you, Mr. Lafferty. Mr. Steen.

Mr. Chairman, if there was a misinterpretation these trucks were under the supervision of contractors that were working for the oil companies. They were not hamlet trucks.

Thank you, Mr. Steen. Mr. Lafferty.

Thank you, Mr. Lafferty. Mr. Handley indicates the question to Mr. Steen. Mr. Steen.

Mr. Chairman, the hamlet lagoon is accessible by anyone that has permit from the hamlet to access the sewage lagoon. In this case the permit allowed the contractors to haul sewage from the rigs into the sewage lagoon. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Steen. Mr. Lafferty.

Thank you, Mr. Lafferty. Mr. Steen.

Mr. Chairman, I may end up having to draw a picture here, but the sewage lagoon is at the end of the road and from there the trucks access the rigs. There was very little use of the actual road by the sewage trucks to the sewage lagoon. The major damage to the road was done by the water trucks that were using the road. This was done at about this time of the year last year. The hamlet did not realize the total damage until the road thawed out in June, and they then found out that they were not able to repair the damage with the resources they had. That is where the whole project started and the process started, and we are putting together a plan here that could address the damage.

This road just does not access the sewage lagoon. It services the industrial sector, it services the hamlet's solid waste site, as well as servicing a subdivision outside of town. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Steen. The Chair will recognize Mr. Krutko.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the Minister stated that there were three phases to this project. Could the Minister give us some documented information on exactly what the different phases pertain to and exactly what is the expenditure for each of those phases?

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. Mr. Handley, you are referring the question to Mr. Steen. Mr. Steen.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I have the information here somewhere, but basically, it is three phases involving what I was just describing as repairs, reconstruction of the base and the widening of the road, which is done already. It is roughly $500,000, a little more than that. The second phase requires the hamlet to do a winter haul to replace the gravel that they borrowed from Transportation's stockpile, as well as to put another lift on the road, finishing material on the road. That is phase two and three. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Steen. Mr. Krutko.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, we had a long debate on this in AOC with the Minister of Finance, in regard to providing us information so that we could, in the Minister's word, draw the picture. I think for us to get a better understanding of exactly what we are dealing with here is to understand how these expenditures are going to be expended, what is the different phases, and exactly what was the extent of the emergency.

I would like to ask the Minister again, can you provide us with that information, which is documented to clearly spell out the time frame of the different phases, the expenditures of those phases, so that we can see where the different aspects of this project were going to happen?

Again, I would like to ask the Minister, will you provide us that information here in the House, which we did commit from the Minister of Finance in committee that that information would have been provided?

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. Mr. Handley.

Mr. Chairman, yes, we will provide the information.

Thank you, Mr. Handley. Mr. Krutko.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Can we get that information before we move from this line item? I think it is essential that in order for us to approve such an expenditure, we should have the information in front of us.
