Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I don't know whether other ordinary Members have the benefits that the finance committee has with regard to forecasts. I am not aware of the five year forecast. All I see is the capital for 1994-95 and prior years. In future years there is about three or four numbers here I see, including Nahanni Butte for $4 million. I don't know what next year's allocations are going to be. I don't have them in front of me. I would hope that what the government started four years ago will continue and that it doesn't end half way because of other priorities.

Four years ago the finance committee and Members supported that we do some major improvements to all major highway systems. By chance, they chose highway 3 as being one of the highest priorities. I agreed with that at the time, and so did a lot of other Members. I would hope that construction could continue without ignoring other highways.

I have no difficulty with the Fort Smith highway being looked at, or the Dempster or Resolution highways. I support the motion as it reads but I would hope that it also means it includes highways 3 and 7.
