Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’d like to welcome everyone back to this spring session. Back home in the Mackenzie Delta right now we have a lot of people out harvesting. Over the last month people have been out trapping muskrat, beaver and also hunting geese, swans and ducks.
I wish everyone a very safe season this spring. I know we have high water in Fort McPherson right now, and the community of Aklavik is preparing for a flood this spring. With the increased amount of snow that we’ve had this winter, the community is preparing.
Also, the community of Tsiigehtchic is very concerned with the fuel prices we’ve had since May 24th. The community is paying $1.92 per litre for one litre of gasoline. We’re not supposed to use pennies anymore. I’m not sure if this government is aware of that, but we might as well say $1.95 a litre. But this needs to be addressed, and I will have questions for the Minister of petroleum products later today.
Thank you, Mr. Blake. The Member for Deh Cho, Mr. Nadli.
