Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My honourable colleague next to me asked me if I counted the curves in the road on the way to Yellowknife, I started to but I made a pretty good guess at how many there are.

The next question I have concerns the proposal to mix private, public and possible aboriginal sector investment in the construction of the new highways and the Minister has referred to this potential strategy. I wonder if the Minister could tell us what kind of time frame he is looking at for this strategy considering that this may be a real priority for us in this part of the territory to address the question of highways.
