Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in reviewing my briefing notes, I see that Fort Providence was discussing this issue with the regional superintendent as late as March 28th. At that time, it was agreed that the hamlet would develop a proposal and submit it to MACA for funding for gravel. To date, the hamlet has not submitted the request for a technical assessment of their need.
However, I did discuss this with the Member yesterday and it appears that there is a little more need for it now than there was in March, due to the spring runoff conditions.
Public Works has also advised me that they were planning to go into the community in the week of the 17th to assess what gravel sources there are in the community and put together a gravel haul with the community.
There is some funding available. What we need now is an assessment from the community and a request from the community identifying exactly how much they need. Thank you.
