Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I think the original estimate of the road between Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk was in the line of what is already existing up there from the Dempster Highway. Perhaps, it is what the honourable Member is mentioning. It is something that is more scaled down than the Dempster Highway system and if that is the case, then it probably will not cost us as much as what the department is estimating. I will have to ask the department to take a second look at this one and see what it is exactly that the honourable Member is requesting, and we will work with the community of Tuktoyaktuk and also the town of Inuvik. I believe the department had already contributed some funding as to a study, towards how we are going to put it together. I look forward to looking at that study to see what this road between Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk would look like, as a preliminary estimation by the study. Thank you.
