Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today my Member’s statement was on shoreline erosion in the community of Tuktoyaktuk. Over the past summer when I was home I was picked up by my uncle, John Steen, and then we went down and I looked at the shoreline embankment. It’s probably about 75 feet total, but the total from top of the soil to the lake, to the Pokiak Lake, is almost 50 feet. So one bad west wind, Mr. Speaker, where the rock ends, it’s going to open up that whole backend of the community where we have 31 units, including the RCMP, and all the units are going to be opened up to the ocean.
So, Mr. Speaker, where do we start with the Minister on getting extraordinary funding for the community of Tuk and making sure they’re not going to come at me and say use your gas tax
money? I want extraordinary funding for the community to see where we start in getting this project for this upcoming season. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
