Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to make a general comment on transportation, and it has to dowith the community of Jean Marie River. It is not in this supplementary, but I just wanted to make a point. The community has capital estimates to build a fair weather roadfrom the community to the highway, and they ran into a problem last winter where your project managers, following blueprints, are instructing the community to build a road through a muskeg area and the community is using commonsense and suggesting this road be built on higher ground where the right of way was already cleared previously. But the engineer says this is the way it is on the map so this is the way it is going to go. Could the Minister do something about this situation and work with the community more closely using the common sense approach rather than following a map drawn up by some engineers from Yellowknife? Could the Minister indicate if he is aware of the situation or instruct this department to work more closely with the community to build this fair weather road from Jean Marie to the highway?
