Mr. Chairman, just for the record, there may be a potential for conflict of interest for me on page 11-13, so I will not participate in discussion, or vote on that page.

There is just one comment I would like to make regards to the license plates. Right now, the plates are designed so you can only use five letters and I want to put more than five letters. People do not just limit their names to five letters, you know, so I want to see if you might be able to put some extra space to allow for at least one extra letter.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The plates can accommodate six, so they get all of Mr. Gargans on it. With the design that we have, and the standard that North American vehicles have, it is a little difficult, because they are usually encased in an indentation on cars to accommodate a certain size. It is a little difficult to do that. Maybe the Member will have to be imaginative, and hyphenate.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just a question. In the department's definitive objectives, I see under transportation planning that they are going to do regional transportation plans for the Kitikmeot, Keewatin and Inuvik regions. I hope that is not the priority that these plans are going to be done in, in terms of traffic and road planning. If you are doing boat planning, I guess it is different, but in terms of highway planning, I hope that more emphasis would placed on some of the existing road links.
In terms of where the traffic is going, as mentioned in the acting Minister of Tourism's speech the other day, the Dempster highway has had a tremendous amount of traffic. There is also a tremendous amount of planning activity that has to go into it which differs from just a plain road. There is a lot of infrastructure, a lot of facilities have to be developed.
I guess I can put my dibs in here for the Mackenzie highway from Wrigley up through to Inuvik, and maybe to the Beaufort. I know that it is in the transportation strategy, but I have not seen any information. I am not sure where it is in the overall planning. I think it should be a priority.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The comments are good comments, in that in the capital plan, the road will be, by the end of 1994, open as far north as Wrigley. Beyond that, it depends on federal funding for the Mackenzie Valley highway, it is something that we are working on, and we are hopeful.
