Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I was trying my best to respond to the question in the quickest way possible, but also, like I was saying, I was quite honoured by the presentation in Tuktoyaktuk, where they have come up with new ideas. Previously, this government had said that it would cost approximately, for example, $160 million to develop that infrastructure from Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk. But, from Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk people working with transportation people they have saved $120 million already because they say it is only going to cost $40 million. But what we have to do is work together with them, work together with the private sector. Hopefully, Mr. Todd will be able to pull a vehicle together along with Mr. Antoine from Transportation to find some private sector money to invest in our economy in the Northwest Territories. That is desperately needed and that is what is going to be new, Mr. Speaker, is the partnership arrangements. The partnership arrangements between northerners, southerners, all people, so that we can move ahead to the next century with new highways. Thank you.
