Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in my Member's statement today, I talked about support for the Hay River volunteer fire and ambulance service. Members will remember I raised the issue of the inconsistency of support by this government to various fire and ambulance services across the Northwest Territories. In response to that, I know that there is a comprehensive strategy underway between the departments of MACA, Transportation, and Health and Social Services. But specifically to Hay River, what we have is a very well-trained volunteer fire department; we only get a $25,000 contribution to the local health board to operate that fire department. As resource development proceeds, our fire department not only serves the municipality, they serve the highway system east towards Fort Resolution and Fort Smith, south towards the border, and to the west towards Fort Providence, and this is quite a major undertaking. We need to be proactive in preparing for the amount of traffic and the demand that's going to be put on this volunteer ambulance and fire service in Hay River.
To that end, Mr. Speaker, we would like to come up with a plan specific to Hay River. I understand there's an overall overview plan being done for the Northwest Territories, but we want a plan specific to Hay River and we need money to commission that plan. There are five Ministers involved: Health and Social Services; MACA; Justice, under public safety; Transportation; and ITI, because a lot of this will be resource driven and we need $10,000. So any Minister of those five that I named, those five departments, that wants to give us $10,000, we'd greatly appreciate it. Perhaps I could direct the question to...I don't know who the lead is on it. Is it Mr. Miltenberger? Okay, Mr. Miltenberger. Thank you.
