Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just on the Willow River Bridge, I don’t see the point where the department provided this bridge. Installing it was $2 million and all we get on a yearly basis is $200,000. I know the department did provide a bit more than that this past year, which was great, but it’s time for the department to step up here and provide the $2 million to actually put this in place. You know, we’re throwing around $200 million or $300 million here on one highway. A little infrastructure that means a lot to the community would really go a long way
here. This is better than 1 percent of what they’re spending here.
The other thing is with the airport. I know Fort McPherson is an hour and a half away and yet they have an airport. The reasoning why we can’t have an airport in Tsiigehtchic doesn’t make sense. We’re an hour away, yes, but in an emergency situation, which we have many times, it’s up to the community to organize bringing people in, in an emergency. I mean, it’s not up to the health centre. They’ve got a lot of play in this. It’s the people. They take their own responsibility to ensure the safety of the residents and I really don’t appreciate that answer I received.
But, once again, at Moose Kerr School, I hope we do end up replacing that when the time comes, such as we did with the Stanton Territorial Hospital. Thank you.
