Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, it has been two years since the community of Aklavik received funds to purchase a bridge for Willow River and I have thanked the department many times for that. Once that bridge was purchased the community hauled that to Aklavik, stored it there for the winter because by that time we couldn’t haul it to Aklavik. Then last year we received more funding through the Community Access Program to haul this bridge up to the site at Willow River and get preparations started to actually put this bridge in place. But, Mr. Speaker, it has been over a year since we’ve received any more funding to complete the last stage of this project. Mr. Speaker, as I’ve mentioned before, in Aklavik they only have about three months to do this sort of work during the winter months. The next stage is to drill pilings and to put this bridge in place. We need to ensure that the next proposal is approved to ensure that we prepare this early winter and to complete the rest of the project. I’ll have questions for the Minister later today. Thank you.
