Thank you, Madam Chair. When I was elected back on February 10th of this year, two years earlier the GNWT went through -- elected all the MLAs for this Assembly, for the 19th Assembly, and they had a meeting where they brought all their wants and needs for their constituency and the NWT. When I came in, I never had that opportunity and I looked at some of the capital plans. So for N'dilo, Dettah, Lutselk'e, and Fort Resolution, we do have our own wants and needs as well. But I just want to -- we brought this issue to the Minister a few years ago with chief Marlowe, and he raised the issue in Lutselk'e in regards to the dust problem in that community. If there's a way we can look at that, either start developing some kind of chip seal program for that community so we could address the dust problem. And that dust problem's been there for a long time and hasn't been really addressed. And then that's the same thing in Fort Resolution, in the community of Fort Resolution. We should really take a look at doing a chip seal program in that community. And that's a concern. But overall, Madam Chair, if we could take a look at this, then maybe I'll be in favour of voting in favour of this budget. Thank you.
