Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In the transportation strategy one of the things that struck me in my travels across the north is that the smaller communities, particularly those in the higher latitudes, do not have many roads outside of their towns and that seems to have been a problem. Although there are not that many vehicles, they have many four wheelers and that is like our cars and trucks here. Although they are all-terrain, they can travel just about anywhere. There seems to be a lack of planned pathways for them. One of the things I had heard was with regard to the lack of planned pathways to hunting and fishing areas, these are not just recreational, they are economical in nature. This does not appear to be in the transportation strategy and is badly needed in the smaller communities to accommodate the small off-road vehicles. Is this something that the department will be visiting in its new transportation strategy?
