Does the committee agree that he brings in his witnesses?
Mr. Speaker, there is some urgency to this problem, because the barges are coming in, and they’re having problems docking to unload the goods and services.
I’d like to ask the Minister: is there an emergency program that’s out there that the community can access now? It is that season when the barges are coming in. Also, with these barges having problems docking, they’re not able to get their goods and services off.
I’d like to ask the Minister if he could look into this and put some urgency to finding a solution to this problem.

Okay. As we agreed, the next item we’ll deal with is Bill 12, An Act to Amend the Human Rights Act. With that, I’ll ask Mr. Ramsay if he has any opening remarks in regard to Bill 12.
I’d like to ask the Minister if he can also commit to me a date and time for the meeting in Aklavik. We were looking at July, somewhere in the second week. Does he have a date nailed down for the residents of Aklavik that will allow us, by way of having a public meeting, to discuss this issue publicly? Does the Minister have a date at hand for a public meeting?
Would the Minister of FMBS respond to the question asked previously.
