Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 71)

I thank the Minister for that answer, and I will keep an open mind on that as I go around with her and listen to the comments and concerns from people in Hay River. One thing that she had mentioned previously, as well, is the catchment area. I realize Fort Providence, Kakisa, and Fort Resolution are in different regions, but the reality is that Hay River is a regional centre.
