Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The last issue I want to talk about is with regard to the Chief Albert Wright School being built in Tulita and the issue of gravel being a concern. It somewhat boggles my mind when I look at this issue. Gravel was brought in from Norman Wells in sandbags, barged in from Norman Wells to Tulita. We have the same gravel in Tulita that is in Norman Wells. Why did we bring the gravel in on that barge? Maybe it had to do with some equipment that we didn't have in Tulita. It's just mind blowing to me. People in Tulita just laugh because they are saying you are hauling gravel now from one community to the next community. Maybe they should have brought in a machine to do the work in Tulita. It just doesn't make sense. I guess that's what we are asking. That's what I want to say is the issue here. That's what the people in my region ask about in terms of the coordination of this issue here.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, with regard to the gravel that was brought into the community from Norman Wells, the gravel was a type of gravel that had to be used to do the concrete. That's why you needed that special type of gravel that had to be crushed in a certain size. That's why the gravel was brought in from Norman Wells by way of barge.
The other gravel that's in the community, they have been able to work with other departments, Transportation and the private sector to ensure we have enough gravel in the community to do the Albert Wright School project which is currently under way. Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, two miles away we have our gravel that far from the distance of the concrete. So I guess I disagree with the Minister on that point, however, he will have the information to back him up on that. I don't think that kind of information would satisfy our people at
least. So, Mr. Chairman, I am going to leave it at that for now and continue on with the budget.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I don't want to argue with the Member, but I believe it's the granular material that's from the pit in Norman Wells that was used for the crush and also the material outside of Tulita is pit run. There is a difference between the type of material that was used in this case. Again, if the Member wants more information on this matter, I am more than willing to sit down with him and give him the information and data that he requests.
