Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Transportation. Mr. Speaker, for many years there has been a winter road from Fort Smith to Fort Chipewyan, and Parks Canada has indicated to the community that they will be closing that particular road this year. I sincerely believe that any linkage for transportation is vitally needed, particularly in the North, and I would like to ask the Minister: In order to maintain this road, it cost approximately anywhere up to $30,000 or $40,000, and I would like the Minister to advise me whether or not his department has had any discussions with Parks Canada in an attempt to try and have them reverse their decision.
