Madam Speaker, I also want to point out that Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada has funded studies mitigating these challenges, which have been undertaken by first nations and the provincial governments.
We are looking forward to the department engaging with the provinces and first nations about longer-term transportation plans. In the cases that have been referenced here, they are more of a provincial responsibility and jurisdiction, but we want to assist and to help. It is a concern for us, and we understand the nature and the importance of this to the region.
The member should never hesitate to bring forward important issues on behalf of constituents to us as a government. We would be happy to respond and work with the member to ensure that we get the best results.
