I served as a chief in my community for almost 30 years. We started a gravel pit four years ago. We still don't have authority today to sell that gravel. We have lost so much money in that. We were able to do our own roads. We borrowed money to do our own roads, because we figured we were opening a gravel pit, we would have an economic development opportunity there, and we could sell the gravel to pay back the loan. We still don't have the licence to do that. It is absolutely frustrating.
