Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a return to an oral question asked by Mr. Gargan on the Hay River ice crossing. The winter ice crossing between the Hay River Reserve and the town of Hay River would quality as a highway under the definition in the Motor Vehicles Act as it is used regularly by members of the public. However, it is not included in the schedule to the Public Highways Act, as It is not a federal or territorial responsibility, being a road developed entirely within the boundaries of the reserve and the town of Hay River. It does not cross any land which is the responsibility of the GNWT, but rather is considered a community responsibility. The Department of Transportation has never made any contribution toward the construction and maintenance of this ice bridge. However, as I indicated earlier, I am prepared to have the department convene a meeting with the band council and the town council to see it some mutually satisfactory arrangement can be made with regard to this community road.
