Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Minister of MACA. Every community within the Northwest Territories should be accommodated at the same rate. Aklavik is no different. For years, the community has been left out of major projects with the Government of the Northwest Territories. I'd like to see the Minister and his department step up and assist the community of Aklavik in saving the shoreline within its municipal boundaries for future use.
Can the Minister and his department look at ways to finance the restoration of the shoreline, whether it be with other departments, or give us direction through federal government programs? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Member from Mackenzie Delta. Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am aware of other communities that have reached out for funding for emergency remediation on banks, riverbanks, and berms and stuff like that, like that of Hay River. So I will look into it with the department and see what we can do for your community. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Can the Minister look at sending a team of engineers to the community to see how the road can be restored? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Yes, Mr. Speaker, I'm just notified that the Department of Infrastructure is working with MACA to work with the community on getting some funds available to do some work. Thank you.
Thank you to the Minister for that good response. Okay, I just deleted one of my questions there. Okay, thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Will the Minister commit to joining other Ministers on a Mackenzie Delta tour scheduled for July 16th and 17th? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'm always willing to get out to the communities and see the regions, so I would be willing to work with the Member on a tour if need be there. Thank you.
Thank you, Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs. Oral questions. Member from Yellowknife Centre.
