Thank you, Mr. Chair. I’d like to start off with thanking the Minister in regard to getting the maintainers positions in Sachs Harbour and Ulukhaktok and I hope that it’s five out of the six, I hope it’s not the sixth person in one of my communities I represent that has been hired and they’re still looking for who will provide the support to the settlement maintainers.

Getting back to the PWS with the digital communications network contract, it expires in September 2011. The highlight of the importance and how we need the high speed Internet in the communities for the schools, for the nursing stations, for the community itself and all communities, I just hope they can reach that prior to it expiring and having the old blackout days in regard to Internet. The health centres really do need that and we utilize the program with telehealth.

The remote water quality monitoring treatment plants for Sachs Harbour and Paulatuk, I thank the Minister and we look forward to completing the infrastructure. The review for Sachs Harbour water supply system I hope we can get that sorted out if it’s not been sorted out already. Reviewing aviation fuel facilities and policies for the airports for Sachs and Ulukhaktok and Paulatuk is a good start and then replacement of the maintenance shop up in my hometown of Tuktoyaktuk, that’s probably been since the 1960s and it’s good to see that we have our money in the capital plan to replace that building, because the worker there... That building is so old it’s almost in the ocean.

Getting back into establishing of the gasoline that you’re selling to the Northern Stores, is that going to be directly from the government, PWS to the Northern Stores and is it going to affect the people directly as per litre, per gallon of fuel or heating fuel or gasoline in all communities? Because gasoline in the community of Tuk is $1.56 a litre and that’s unacceptable for the pricing. I’m hoping the Minister can help us that way if it’s directly to the Northern Stores or Co-ops or whoever’s selling the gas that we could, it impacts the people directly.

Thank you for letting me speak to the opening comments. I look forward to the page by page.
