Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In regard to an all-weather access road, basically it’s a capital project of this government to gravel sources. Every community should have access to their gravel sources. I’d like to point out that in regard to the $6 million here, why is it that communities who are trying to get dollars to get to their access for gravel are having such a tough time, yet we’re able to approve this budget here? How many communities are out there that have built roads to their gravel sources and used other capital projects, regardless of if it’s a community access road project or in regard to this project which is identified as an all-weather access road to the gravel sources? I ask the question, why is there no consideration for capital dollars knowing that there is actually a study in place now that will need capital dollars to implement the road from Aklavik to its gravel source, which is 20 kilometres? That should be a straightforward answer, which basically you’re going to build a road for 20 kilometres, you’re going to have to do some preliminary work. Exactly how much money is this government willing to put forward? Do we have to be on that side of the House to get whatever you want?
