Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the main street chipsealing program has been an initiative of this government for the past couple of years now. It was initially budgeted at $1 million. As a part of the reductions required by this government, we reduced it somewhat. This year the program will be carried out in two communities. The communities of Fort McPherson and Tuktoyaktuk I believe are the two communities that the work will be happening in.
The Sahtu has communities that are identified as a part of this schedule. We are only able to carry out the chipsealing program in the communities as the budget allows us to and where our equipment is and where the communities have the streets prepared. There is a lot of work that is required to be done in terms of preparation. This year the two communities that are targeted are Fort McPherson and Tuktoyaktuk, and I believe Fort Good Hope is one of the communities that is targeted in the Sahtu. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
