With so many unknowns on the pace of development, the Tuktoyaktuk planning committee has identified and need for ready access to a gravel source.

Mr. Speaker, I...

Thank you, Mr. Roland. Next I have Mr. Hawkins.

Thank you, Mr. Roland. Mr. Miltenberger.

Yes, just one last one here, Mr. Chairman, in regard to some of the comments made from some of the communities. They mentioned that maybe health care workers can go out to explain the bill. I think it’s important also that if they do go out, that I think that, especially for the elders, they should have interpreters so they can understand the bill itself. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Minister. Mr. Braden.
