Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think we all generally would support initiatives that would bring the possibility of enhanced economic development to any of our communities. As Mr. Todd stated, this particular project may be outside of the realm of the new transportation strategy, as being proposed. I would like to suggest, creating more national recognition for this project, to move an amendment, seconded by the honourable Member for Yellowknife Centre, Mr. Lewis. The amendment being:

AND FURTHER, that this House recommend that the Speaker communicate this support for the road to the Speaker of the House of Commons and the Prime Minister of Canada.
