Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It appeared Members didn't want to make comments, but were ready to go line by line. That is why I didn't go into general comments. I need these questions answered for my constituents, Mr. Chairman.

Mr. Chairman, the Minister indicated that a few years ago his department was discussing this issue with the Alberta government. It appeared that these discussions have been placed by the wayside. The Minister stated that his budgets have had to face cuts, which we are all aware of. At the same time, we have to recognize that they certainly got a good increase from the Alberta government for road maintenance in Alberta.

Seeing that Fort Smith is right on the border, just within the territories, we have somewhat of an overlapping area with respect to highway maintenance. Since the motion has passed in the House, not only in this Legislative Assembly, but in the 11th Legislative Assembly, would the Minister consider looking at further discussions with the Alberta government to look at the extension of this highway? If he can't, would he support the Highway 58 committee, which is moving towards the extension of Highway 58 into Fort Smith, and give the support from his department, whichever way he can, to address the extension of that particular highway?
