Thank you, Madam Chair. I appreciate the Member’s comments. That’s one of the things that we’ve been most pleased with, is the communities’ ability to do good quality projects and put a good product on the ground.
As far as water treatment plants, I mean, the community, again, has that ability to decide where they want to draw water from if it fits within their fiscal framework and the monies that they’re allocated. They’re the best at knowing where their
water sources are from. I do know for a fact that while Inuvik has been using Hidden Lake pretty well since the beginning of Inuvik and they are looking at, I believe, a secondary water source a little further up, and they are planning on building a new water treatment plant using their own funds.
Again, I appreciate the Member’s comments and I am a firm believer that the communities do make good quality decisions as far as their infrastructure needs and priorities are. Thank you.
