Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I apologize for my misunderstanding. Mr. Speaker, this study was done in 1990 just to look at what the costs would be to build a road from Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk. What this study did was look at three scenarios and it varied in cost. It looked at the terrain, the types of rivers and creeks that have to be crossed, and where the material would come from to build this road. As you know, we're talking about the Mackenzie Delta which has very silty-type terrain. In order to build a proper road, you need a good base of gravel. Therefore, you have to go quite a ways to haul this material. All this was worked into the study. As a result of it, they estimated the cost to be $160 million to do this section of road between Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk. Thank you.
