Yesterday my colleague from Tu Nedhe-Wiilideh asked the Minister of Transportation a question about the second bundle of the Building Canada Plan. Mr. Speaker, can the Minister please clarify if the government's approach, the federal government, will be with the second bundle as a package deal or is it broken down project by project? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Masi. Minister of Transportation.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Bundle number two was submitted to the federal government as a complete package with various projects in it for the Northwest Territories. It is a one-bundle project to the federal government. Thank you.
I thank the Minister for his answer. Yesterday we had heard they're looking at different projects. Is the federal government looking at different projects within this bundle or dealing with the whole bundle together?
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Our submission was on a number of projects under one bundle. Bundle number two has a number of projects; being various bridges that we talked about in the House yesterday, different road projects, Canyon Creek access road. There's various projects all within bundle number two submitted to the Building Canada Fund.
This will be my final follow-up question. When will the Minister be able to communicate this information to the smaller communities? Because I know bundle number two… Some of the access roads are part of that project. When will that information be communicated to our communities?
Yes, there are a couple of community access road applications within bundle number two, specifically in the Member's riding. When we hear back from the federal government, hopefully by the end of June, we'll be able to communicate those to the Members and figure out how we're going to move these projects forward. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
