Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is also to the Minister of Transportation. It’s in regard to the issue that there was a motion passed in this House concerning roads to access sources in Tuk and Aklavik. The constituents of Aklavik have been calling me and wondering why it is that there’s a million dollars earmarked for Tuk but zero dollars for Aklavik. I’d just like to ask the Minister: what exactly is the process that has to be followed to ensure the residents of Aklavik will see an access road to their gravel source?
