Department of Public Works and Services, Petroleum Products Revolving Fund, information item, approved.
Again, the point I’m trying to make is that there are projects in place right now in the capital budget where they’re going into communities. You’re building roads into communities, and basically, the government is paying 100 per cent of the cost. I’d just like to know exactly why it is that communities are being treated differently where now, in order to get a road built, you have to come up with half the funds, but in the capital budget right now before this House we are paying to build roads into communities.
I’d just like to take the time to recognize a few people in the visitors’ gallery. The mayor from Paulatuk, Ray Ruben, and his wife, Bella; and Ernest Betsina from Yellowknife. Welcome to the House.
Mr. Hawkins. Oh, sorry. Ms. Sparling.
