[Translation.] Today what I’d like to
talk about is the transportation from Pine Point to
Hay River. There is some money put aside for that project. We’re still short of some funding, but I’m sure we could come up with something. Also, I’d like to mention the dust in Lutselk’e and Fort Resolution. There’s so much dust in that area. I’d like to mention that too. There’s a lot of work that’s going to have to be done there. But with Lutselk’e and Deninu Ku’e, I like that the leaders are there. The government had transitioned from Fort Smith to Yellowknife, so when I go to Fort Resolution and Yellowknife or to Lutselk’e and Fort Resolution, I like to talk about the housing issue.
The things that are going with the housing issue…. But now we have someone in the region, in Lutselk’e right now, from Housing. I was wondering if you could have someone from your government department seconded to come to Lutselk’e to work with them for at least five months so that they could go back to when the government first started the program here, so that they could be assisted with working with the management. Also, we have social services programs, people in the legal department, and people at social services are working with the youth. They are overwhelmed with work. It is very hard to work with the people. Also, the high cost of living in the communities…. When I have questioned the government, they are also making an effort to look into it, but when it comes to the teachers in the education department....
Another thing: the elders’ facility that was supposed to be repaired. The money that was taken back…. Even though money was put aside, it does not suffice. So we’re asking the government if we’re going to have any funding to repair the facility. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. [Translation ends.]
