Mr. Speaker, I have Return to Written Question 24-16(2) asked by Mr. Krutko on June 13, 2008, regarding the costs of hauling gravel.
A total of 11,065 cubic metres of crushed gravel was hauled from Inuvik to Aklavik to repair road related damages occurring from the 2006 flood. The total cost of this portion of the flood restoration
work was $1,448,105.50, which included quarrying, crushing and stockpiling the materials in Inuvik and then barging the materials to Aklavik. In addition, the Department of Transportation incurred internal costs of approximately $23,600 to manage the acquisition and transportation of these materials.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
