Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have that information in my office, but I don't have it here. I'd certainly be able to supply it to the Member.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'd like to ask the Minister if every community was going to be treated equally when they did the preparation and upgrading before they chip sealed. Were all communities being considered equally? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, there would have to be some differences in how much we spent in each community because it takes into consideration what's considered as main street in each community. We work with the community to have them identify for us what they consider as main street, and then we take into consideration what the cost would be to bring the main road up to a level that can hold chip seal. In that case, we have to use Transportation engineers and work with them to arrive at a cost to put chip seal in those particular communities. Some would be more than others.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'd like to ask the Minister when they were considering Rae-Edzo, did they consider that there were two communities and both had main streets? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Lafferty. The honourable Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs, Mr. Steen. The question was, were they considered two communities: Rae as one and Edzo as the other? Mr. Steen.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as far as I'm aware, Rae and Edzo are the same community. I'm not aware that they're two different communities that we're dealing with.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Honourable Vince Steen, Minister of MACA. I'd like to continue my line of questioning on main street paving. I'd like to ask the Minister, as he considered Rae and Edzo the same community, maybe now that he knows they aren't the same community he'll put more funding in to chip seal the main street of the other community. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, if the agreement with NWTAC and all the stakeholders is that chip sealing receives high priority in relation to other programs, such as water and sewage, and we do receive more funding because of the federal program, we will definitely increase and accelerate the program.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'd like to ask the Minister, since just discovering that Rae and Edzo are not the same community, maybe he could look at extra funding and from now on he can give direction to his department to see it in that way. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as I responded to the Member, Mr. Nitah, earlier, we would definitely have liked to have the figures from the federal government as to how much of that funding we'll be receiving this year before the business plans are put in place so that we can see whether we can in fact accelerate the chip sealing program.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'd like to ask the Minister if he can make sure that if it's not possible during the life of his Assembly, that he put it in the transition document for the next Assembly?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I believe the chip sealing program will be part of the transition document because FMBS approved it for a five-year term. Thank you.

Thank you. I'm glad for the answer of the Minister, but the point I was getting at was if they could consider that Edzo and Rae are two separate communities under one municipality. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as I responded to Mr. Nitah, all the communities will be considered, but I can't guarantee any priority right now. It would be related to the equipment that's available from Transportation, the availability of crushed material and the cost. I certainly will bring the comments of the Member forward. Thank you.
