Well, I believe most of the supervisor positions are in the downtown core. If you want to
talk to someone from Housing or Transportation or Public Works or MACA, they’re all right downtown. I mean, if I drive to Inuvik and I want to talk to somebody, I just go downtown and walk down the street.
I think it’s more than just having a storefront operation. You want to be able to talk to people and ensure that programs and services are being delivered, not simply that you have a storefront. My issue is around the whole move itself, of moving to a federal infrastructure that has been in Inuvik going back 50 years.
The upgrades at $300,000…. I think at the end of the day they’re probably going to cost you a lot more than $300,000 by way of safety codes, electrical codes and basically looking at the overall costs in regard to dealing with heat exchange systems and ventilation. I think there’s a lot more to this building than simply saying it’s going to cost $300,000. Again, I’d like to ask: why is the superintendent of the department moving out to Shell Lake? So he can go fishing?
