Mr.
Speaker, in regard to my
Member’s statement about the road to the gravel source in Aklavik and also about not having it — it’s an essential service — I’d like to ask the Minister of Transportation…. In the last couple of years there has been some work that's ongoing between the Department of Transportation, the community of Fort McPherson and the residents of Aklavik for an all-weather road to connect the community of Aklavik to the Dempster Highway. Yet nowhere in the information I’ve been reviewing is there any capital investment in this idea.
I’d like to ask the Minister of Transportation: exactly where is it in the capital planning process that the
communities can see some capital investment in developing an access road in Aklavik to the gravel source, which is some 15 kilometres from the community?
