Norman Yakeleya Minister of Transportation

Mr. Chairman,

the

Member spoke very passionately in previous days and again tonight. I certainly hear what the Member is saying on behalf of the people of Aklavik. We certainly had some discussions. I also understand that Minister McLeod might come out and have some discussions in terms of the role of the department and how we can get together. As Mr.

Krutko mentioned, how can we best put

together this package with the people of Aklavik in looking at this important gravel site they’ve identified over a number of years and through various motions, raising it in various forms? We are certainly going to look into and go in there and say, “Let’s work on this.” That’ll be the link to updating our strategy in terms of connecting communities.

I come from a community similar to what Mr. Krutko’s talking about. I know the importance of some of this stuff to the people. I’m willing to go in, as I said before, and talk with the people of Aklavik and the different departments to see what the steps are in terms of putting a good plan together for building something for the people of Aklavik.

See context to find out what was said next.
