Thank you, Mr. Chairman. That is the water treatment plant in Rae.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I see the numbers are set there, but as we all know, they are doing testing to see from which source they will be getting their water. That might change the design of the building. Also, attending the last hamlet meeting, they found out the reservoir they have in Rae now is not sufficient enough. It does not have the capacity for a fire. If there was a large fire, they would not have enough water. I would just like to know, will these numbers be changing when the design comes in this year?

Could we have order in the House please? There is too much noise. Mr. Lafferty, could you repeat your question please?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I see numbers here that are set already, but as we know, Rae-Edzo has asked for a new source of water. There are tests being done to see which source will be better, or which one will be less costly to treat, which will be better drinking water. Also, attending the last hamlet meeting, I found out that if they were to have a fire, they would not have the capacity, the water capacity that was needed. In their notes, they have put down that they are going to ask for another reservoir along with the water plan. Would that be possible?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I know that with the problems they have been working on, and with the Rae water system, there may be other bugs, other problems identified. If the studies being conducted by Public Works and the work Public Works is doing today identifies additional needs, then we will have to see how that can be accommodated in the plan over the next few years.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. So we will give the people of Rae-Edzo what they want and not what the standard criteria or the funding allows?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I think what we are saying is we will provide what is needed in consultation with the community. Whether it is everything they are asking for or not is a different situation.

Mr. Chairman, I believe the department is stating we are going to review with Public Works what is necessary for the community to be able to address their water needs. We will discuss this with the community. Obviously, we are going to have to come to some kind of agreement with the community as to what we can supply them with. That is what will be reflected in the capital plans. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I see several areas where you are looking at arenas, outdoor rinks. You have Kakisa, Trout Lake, Wrigley, and the community of Tsiigehtchic is also listed to receive one next year. One of the concerns of the community is, have they looked at the possibility of the cost of having these things covered by way of canvas or by way of some sort of industrial cover that could be put on it? If the cost is not that great, have we looked at the feasibility of considering adding that into the construction of an outdoor rink, so at least you have a covering over it? I would like to ask the Minister or the deputy minister, have you looked at the feasibility of that as an option for these outdoor rinks? We may not be able to get full arenas, but at least we will be able to put a covering on these rinks, so they are at least out of the snow and what not. They are covered. Has the department looked at that and is it a possibility? Is it something the department could look at and see if it is feasible?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, we have not looked at it. It has not been identified as a need by the communities that the Member mentions. However, we could have our municipal engineers look into what is available and make the communities aware of it. We could do it in that manner. Thank you.
