Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this restructuring of the highway between Rae and Yellowknife is a very major undertaking in terms of the amount of dollars that would be required to reconstruct the whole 90 odd kilometres of this highway. It is a very substantial cost per kilometre, and because of that we would like to look at it as part of a highway strategy even though it is in the five-year capital plan. It is part of a bigger strategy that we are developing. As I said earlier in my statements and specifically to your question, yes, we would like to move ahead and start reconstruction of the highway within the next three years. That is to start it, the completion will take longer than that. Thank you.
