Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just wanted to add to what I said earlier, and what Mr. Blake had just said about the Community Access Road Program. When the Members from this side of the House talked about the Small Community Employment Program, we certainly were not thinking that this was going to subsidize a Community Access Road Program; completely different type of projects in our minds. To try to now jam all of the requests that we have for around the various departments into the Small Community Access Support Program, it is not something that we support.

This Access Road Program, we are asking this department, whether it be the Department of Transportation or Infrastructure, to add money into this program. Money that is needed. Not labour money or employment money. We need money to operate equipment to be able to work on access roads, traditional areas that the community accesses. This makes it possible for the communities to access really good traditional areas, otherwise, like I indicated earlier, only accessible by small vehicles like maybe four-wheelers or snowmobiles and so on. This year, it gives the community full access to these areas.

I don't want the department to think that Department of Education putting small community employment dollars into the budget solves all of our requests. Not at all. This is a completely separate request, and I'm hoping that all of the departments coming up are not going to the Small Community Employment Program, the one provision that was made by the government for us, and now pile everything onto that program. Thank you.
