Mr. Chair, I’m going through this park in detail because I want to make sure that I have some clear answers from the Minister in terms of the parks here. I certainly appreciate the Minister’s comments to look at other parks in our region.
I really wanted to also say probably to the Minister that we appreciate the work that he’s doing in terms of having this CANOL Trail designated. It’s world-class and a beautiful park. I just hope and wish that someday the Ministers can actually walk on the trail there and experience it themselves.
I want to say that I’m hoping that the Minister can make some time to have some discussions with us in the Sahtu to talk about parks and see where we could have some facilities like other regions that have parks, that have some beautiful facilities. We could have that also in the Sahtu. There is going to be lots of time and effort to actually designate the CANOL Heritage Trail into a park that we want to have. Right now it’s in the jurisdiction of the federal government and, actually, they put in quite a few dollars to start the cleanup with the wires of the CANOL Trail. I know our government is working hard to access money but the feds are the ones that came up and actually put up some money. We’re working hard with the government to see some more work done on it. He has my support there. That’s what I’m asking the Minister.
