The Minister suggested maybe we should consider population, there again. Let's represent those communities that have a population. When we heard before that, we don't deal with communities based on population, that's another issue. What happened to the health issue? Shouldn't we do some tests to determine the dust levels of communities and plan accordingly? If we looked at the population and number of vehicles, Fort Resolution has a lot more vehicles than Tuktoyaktuk. It has a lot more vehicle traffic than Fort Good Hope. There's a highway there. Almost every member of every household has a vehicle or two. That's 1,000 vehicles almost, not to mention the resupply vehicles such as fuel trucks and grocery trucks, logging trucks, tourism. So if it's a health issue and it's a need issue, why are we basing our schedule on availability of equipment? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
