Mr. Chair, that’s exactly my point. You have the expertise. You have the surveys. You’ve done the research. Why should the communities start all over again and have to invest their own money to start from ground zero? We already have a lot of those reports in place. That’s why I think it’s important that you do keep some expertise either in
this area or give it to Transportation, whoever. But at least retain that in the Government of the Northwest Territories’ budget by way of MACA or whoever else. I think the expertise that’s going to be needed — the research reports, the soil samples, whatever — is already there. Let’s maintain some presence in that area so that communities can be able to access this government to seriously look at that.
Again, I’d just like to ask the Minister if he would seriously reconsider looking at some sort of a presence by way of dust control. We can’t do it in this budget unless we delete something and add to it, but I think it’s important that we do have some resources in that area so we can assist communities with that item.
