Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have a few comments I want to make on the Department of Transportation. My first comment deals with the transportation strategy. I am glad to hear that the Minister and his department are going to be pursuing this transportation strategy developed by the former government. One area that concerns me the most is the highway going down the Mackenzie Valley. Presently there is work that began in the Wrigley area at Willow Lake River to build a bridge and upgrade the existing highway to be used by June of 1994. I am quite happy and it is an indication by the government that they are moving ahead with the strategy. My concern is what comes after that? There has been talk for many years that the Mackenzie Highway will continue down the Mackenzie Valley to Wrigley, north to Fort Norman, to Norman Wells, and on to Inuvik. What is the position of the Department of Transportation continuing the highway down the valley past Wrigley? Thank you.
