Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I too will say a few words on the budget dialogue that has happened over the last three years. When this first began in one of the communities we even had a peaceful demonstration, which showed great support for the Inuvik-Tuk Highway Project and that is one of our priorities that we have undertaken over the last couple of years. Also with the Fibre Optic Link.
Those investments in the Beaufort-Delta region really needed to happen. Before that it was very slow up in the region, but now there’s a lot of jobs happening over the winter season, a lot of people working, a lot of happy families over Christmas.
Also, what I was hoping to say, and if this happens in the future, is come and visit the small communities, not just the regional centres. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Blake. Member for Hay River South, Mrs. Groenewegen.
