Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise again to speak about dredging in the Hay River area. I think this is, at a minimum, the tenth statement I’ve made on dredging and the requirements of dredging to be done in the Northwest Territories. I’ve made this statement to two different Ministers and to several different departments.

There is no progress in this activity, and it’s frustrating for me and for my colleagues in the area that know that there’s an interest that dredging be done in the Northwest Territories.

This government has indicated that there’s lots of infrastructure money going towards all kinds of roads but very little, if any, going to marine and especially going to dredging.

I’ve had numerous excuses given to me that it’s a federal responsibility, but it’s our government that needs to step up and put a plan together to get dredging done. We have committed and taken our task of building roads. That used to be a federal responsibility alone; now we’re doing two-thirds/one-third. Where is the government’s one-third on dredging to get the federal government to do dredging?

I will have questions for the Minister of Transportation again. Where is the dredging for the Hay River area? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
