Thank you, Mr. Chairman. If the Member is frustrated after two years, wait until he’s been here 14.

Sometimes the wheels of government grind slow and fine, and one of the top criteria for a good MLA is persistence and I suppose an unrelenting focus on pushing the issues, no matter how slow it sometimes gets.

I appreciate some of the concerns the Member has raised. There are things that I believe are already underway in terms of with the Minister of Housing on some of the alternatives that are there in terms of addressing some of these irritants. Some of them are structural, some of them process, some of them are policy issues that can be done that I think we can do in the very near future.

The issue of roads is an important one. I would point out, though, that one of the things that’s not in this capital plan, of course, is the mini-hydro in Lutselk’e, which will form a critical mass and will allow other things to happen, as the Member has indicated. But if we get that multi-million dollar project going, we drop the costs. The construction of that particular facility will then make it easier for other things to happen. Over two years there are a lot of pieces coming into place that the Member has had his hands on. So once again the issue is we have far more needs than we have resources, and that’s the challenge every time we gather around the table. Thank you.
