Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in follow-up to my earlier questions on the crusher for Aklavik, it's quite clear there's a lack of representation of small communities on the Cabinet side. Otherwise, they would know the challenges we have in our small communities. Just to say, “Oh, just go to the private sector.” It's not that easy for these communities. From what I understand these crushers are in the department for communities such as this, so I'd like to ask the Minister: Will the Minister be willing to work with the community, which is trying to come up with a training plan for opportunities that will arise out of this and build capacity? Will the Minister work with the community to set up a time that this will be available? Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The department is willing to work with all communities, big or small, for the needs of the citizens of the Northwest Territories. I'd be glad to sit down with the Member and discuss what their possible needs are. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
That sounds promising. My last question for today is: Will the Minister be willing to come to Aklavik to see first-hand the challenges, and also to meet with the community?
Yes, I would be willing to go to Aklavik and discuss this.
