Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just to add to the community access program, we know how successful it is. I am sure, as you can tell by the Member before me, it is underfunded. Like he mentioned, it creates a lot of employment in our small communities. Even before Christmas, I was told there is really not much funding left, which is a shame because there are a lot of good projects coming out. You know, most communities tend to wait until the actual season that they want to start the work, a lot of portage trails that people are cutting out, bypass roads. We really appreciate the increase, but it's...

We look forward to those times when we do have that full-time nurse, so why doesn't the department just can expand it a bit? Even six months out of the year, it would be great. You know, emergency response training is needed, but so is a nurse, Mr. Speaker. My constituents want to know: when can we get a full-time nurse?
