Member’s Statement on Community Access to the Department of Transportation Gravel Crusher

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker. During my last constituency tour in my riding, the community of Aklavik would like to request from the Department of Transportation to have the crusher that's owned by the department to be located in the community, whether it's a season or for the full year. I do realize that this crusher is now located, I believe, in Fort Good Hope, and it may take some time to ship this unit up to Aklavik, most likely over the summer, but the community's looking forward to some work to be done on their roads. As you may know, during the spring flood, many times the roads in the community are under water with the flooding in the community, so the community is making plans to upgrade the road infrastructure and they'd like to request that the crusher be brought in. Also, they're planning to do training opportunities and trying to boost the economy and the community. Later today, I'll have questions for the Minister of Transportation. Thank you.
