Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Member raises a very important point, something that has been raised by a number of communities in his riding. Of course, our government has been very concerned over some of the frontline services that we have been providing to some of the very isolated communities. This year in the community the Member represents, we were further challenged by the fact that some of the
materials got bumped and really compounded the issue even further. I recognize that there are some challenges that we have to overcome. We are planning to deal with the issue such as the availability of contractors and skilled workers in those communities. We plan to look at the possibility of hiring some of the retainers in some of the communities that the Member is referring to. Thank you.
