Mr. Chair, I want to talk to the Minister about an issue here in regard to roads and the gravel access concept here. It’s been quite a good discussion amongst the Members here. I know that this is not the mandate of this department here. It’s really a MACA department mandate; however, Transportation has somewhat been involved in it due to the complexity of the Mackenzie Valley Highway road. It makes sense. Now you open the doors to this issue here. Would the Minister possibly consider with his Cabinet in terms of saying that we could look at a mandate for this department? That probably opens other complexities; however, I think that’s something that we should consider. I’m not too sure if it will get any take, however, if there’s money in the budget… So I want to ask the Minister in terms of this issue here, because it seems that we have some comments from the Minister in terms of partnerships on gravel source and access road. There are two that Mr. Krutko talked about, the Aklavik gravel source and the Tuktoyaktuk gravel source. So now he’s opened doors to other sources to gravel from the communities and sometimes it goes on a case-by-case basis, and I know some of the communities in my region would like to have access to gravel sources. They talked about it so… I just wanted to ask the Minister in terms of going forward in terms of a possible discussion on a possible mandate that they may consider.
