Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm just looking at operations on page 239, the program detail. I understand my colleague in the Delta's concerns. As you all know, we had a near miss last year where a tanker actually partially did go through the ice on Bear Lake. If it had in fact gone through, it could have created a catastrophe for downstream communities.
I am glad to see the operations as it is covering some extra allowances for the winter roads, whether it is north of Yellowknife. Hopefully, some of those monies might be increased for additional flooding requirement to minimize the risk and ensuring that the heavy traffic destined for Deline does not interfere into high risk factoring in.
As we speak right now, the community of Deline sees on the average of 60 to 70 truckloads of fuel come in for the Power Corporation, community demands, and the home heating fuel. To date, we have not seen one load of fuel go on that road yet or go across the bay to the community, so with this extra funding, I am hoping that some of that would be directed to providing assurances on flooding the bay going across to the community of Deline. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
