Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just noticed that -- please indulge me; I'm a little bit slow sometimes -- in future years anticipated, there is zero dollars there. Does
that mean that there's not going to be any work done on that highway between Yellowknife and Rae?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This particular section is in the five-year capital plan, and we would like to have some funding in place this year of $100,000 to do some preliminary work, as well as next year, 1997-98, and in 1998-99, there is a substantial amount in the budget of about $12 million. So in the upcoming years, this is the plan that we have. That is in the plans of the department at the present time. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I was just wondering, shouldn't that be shown under future years, or is it just not definite yet?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am told that the way these documents are put in place, it wouldn't show in this year's capital estimates but it would show in the following year.

I asked a question during, I believe, the Health segment of the budget about the definition of future years anticipated. My understanding of what was said then was that was for funding in a period of five years. Is that not correct for this department?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The way the department deals with this is if a huge contract is issued on a multi-year basis, then it would show in this current year as well as in the future years anticipated. The amount that shows right now is to do some preliminary work and it's not part of a multi-year contract and is not shown.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I realize you did mention it earlier, but what are the amounts over the next five years that are going to be spent on that particular one, if you would, please?

Mr. Chairman, the way that it's in the year is that in 1996-97, we have $100,000, and in the following year of 1997-98, we have $100,000. There are then substantial amounts that go out into the future years, but for 1998-99, 1 did say there was $12.995 million in there.
I just want to add that, in developing this budget, this particular section was originally planned to have the bulk of the work done, not in this fiscal year but in the next fiscal year; but, because of the budgeting, we moved this particular item back an extra year to try to accommodate the type of budget that was being requested. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. That portion of highway in the Northwest Territories between Fort Rae and Yellowknife is a well-travelled road in the Northwest Territories. How does that rank for usage compared to other portions?

Thank you. The section between Rae-Edzo and Yellowknife, I understand, is the most highly utilized section of the highway system in the Northwest Territories. Thank you.

In the last five years, which portion of highway would have had the most fatalities in the last five years? Would it be fair to say that that portion of highway in the NWT has?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. That section of the highway has its share of accidents, not because it's a dangerous section of the road or anything; there is a percentage of it that happens in that area. If the honourable Member would like that, we would try to get the specific statistics on the accidents and provide that information at a later time.
