Mr. Speaker, while I am on my feet, I would like to make reference to yet another project our government has undertaken to improve life on Manitoba reserves.
Earlier this month, our government announced funding for the construction of access roads to the Pauingassi and Little Grand Rapids First Nations. Right now these first nations are accessible only by air or winter road. However, when completed, these roads will ensure that the Pauingassi and Little Grand Rapids First Nations are connected to Manitoba's existing infrastructure network. This will make it easier for individuals living in these remote first nations to access training or job sites, and it will ultimately improve economic prospects.
This is just another example of the work our government is doing to encourage healthy, prosperous and self-sufficient communities in Manitoba.
