Mr. Speaker, Mahsi cho. (Translation) I would like to speak to the Minister of Transportation. I would like to speak about the pipeline. I would like to know how they are going to fund this project because they have no funding, Mr. Speaker. (Translation ends)
...the growth of development in the North, which, of course, includes the Mackenzie Valley pipeline. I can see though that our approach is not entirely consistent. In my riding we have Highway No. 1 that needs attention and is
impacted when it comes to this specific development. How can we support such development, yet not allocate resources to prepare our infrastructures like our roads in the Nahendeh for growth? I can appreciate our tight resources, yet I do believe that we can reallocate our resources to that which is a priority today.
Today I would like to affirm that my constituents do indeed demand action in focusing these needs to identify that this is a priority for my region. As well, Mr. Speaker, I do notice that there is no priority in our current budget in order to spend dollars in our region for roads in the Nahendeh riding. I would like to address this to the government and I will be speaking to it later. Mahsi cho.
