Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We did, in fact, present to the federal Minister of Transportation a wish list of projects we thought could come under the $500 million Mazankowski initiative. The Yukon made an announcement indicating they had $10 million, I am not sure if that is fact, we would have to check with them. At the present time, discussions are under way between deputies within the Department of Transportation and within the Department of Finance to reach an accommodation with the menu we have presented to the federal government. At this time, we have not had a definitive response to what we have requested, however, I am optimistic that there will be dollars allocated to the Northwest Territories. Whether they will be allocated to our needs, as my department has presented them, I am not sure. I am hoping an announcement will be made jointly between the federal and territorial government within the next two weeks. Thank you.
