Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We have heard of the factors involved in this decision made in FMB. A lot had to do with the safety concerns. I have to raise the point that there are many communities in the Northwest Territories that drive on dirt, gravel roads that I guess can be considered now for putting hard tar down because there is a safety concern in a lot of those communities when it comes to driving on the roads with matters of dust control and visibility. Again, it comes down to the fact that I take it from the Premier's statement that the decision made here, according to FMB, and correct me if I am wrong, was the right decision in your minds for all the conditions that applied to it. I will ask the chairman of FMB if he feels this was the right decision with all the factors involved in putting the five year capital plan process together and the weight that this government holds on it? Thank you.
