Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Most of what I want to say has already been covered by other Members, so I am going to be very brief. To the motion, Mr. Speaker, how we feel as Regular Members on this side of the House is happy about the bridge but demoralized by the process. That’s how I feel. I mean who couldn’t be happy for Fort Providence and be happy for the bridge? I don’t know whether we need the bridge, but you know what? Representing Hay River, I don’t really care because Yellowknife is paying for it anyway, ultimately.

Well, that $2 million a year, that is only going to offset...

Thank you, Mr. McLeod. To the motion. Mr. Yakeleya.

Clause 6.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I will try to make this brief, but I didn’t want to let the opportunity pass to share some of my reflections on work in this Assembly.

First of all, I want to say what an honour it is to serve the people of the North and particularly constituents of Hay River South. For as long as I can remember, I have had an irrepressible need to know what’s going on and being involved in what’s going on and contributing to the things I believe are worthwhile and valuable.

There are some things about this job that are challenging at times, but at the end of the day we can look back...

Thank you for those brief comments, Mr. Pokiak. Next on my list to the motion is Mr. Lafferty.

Clause 4.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It is not spring right now, but in the spring when there is a boil water in place for almost a whole month, would that constitute an emergency for a population such as served by our water intake line? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Braden. To the motion. Next I have Mr. Miltenberger.
