Thank you, Mr. Speaker. What the Member says is quite true. There are far more than 525 miles of highways in the Northwest Territories. Likewise, Mr. Speaker, in the province of Ontario and the province of British Columbia there are far more miles than have been designated as highways to be recognized under that future program. It had been determined using the usage of highways. The necessity of access to ports or major cities was the basis for determining what would be eligible under this highway system.
