That’s a good word to use for some of our facilities in our communities. I want to thank the Minister for explaining to me what the government is looking at in terms of this project being on the books.
I also want to echo Mr. Jacobson that some of our own buildings, even in our small communities, don’t seem to get much high priority in terms of fixing up our facilities here. I understand about Inuvik, and I certainly will take the Minister’s comments to heart about why they’re looking at this facility in Inuvik for our employees up there. But also remember that there are other regions that need facilities; they need to be looked at. The small amount of dollars…. You do what you have to do.
