Mr. Speaker, in regards to the

department and its involvement in this project, there is a road committee established in the community

of Aklavik which had been working on this, but, more importantly, working along with the department to see about the possibility of fast tracking this program. Knowing that we are going into the capital planning process here in the next couple of months, I want to get some assurance that we will do everything we can to try to get it in there. Again, I would like to ask the Minister: With his department and the community planning committee, are there continued consultations going on between your department and the community?
