Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the strategy calls for looking at the continuation of the reconstruction of Highway 3, between Rae and Yellowknife, which is already in our five-year capital plan to being next year. So, that is in the plans and will continue to be there. The Mackenzie Highway extension from Wrigley on down to connect to the Dempster Highway has always been in the highway strategy, as well as a road from Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk. Another new initiative, recently, with the Slave Geologic Province there is, we will have to look at the Slave Province Corridor and other initiatives such as resource access policies. Most of these that we are looking at call for a substantial amount of dollars to do the work. Therefore, it is still quite a long ways off to attempt these, but what we are trying to do here is to propose that we consult with the stakeholder, including the private sector and aboriginal groups, as well as approaching the federal government to start looking at new ways of trying to secure funding for these initiatives.
I guess the honourable Member is right that it is more of a dream than anything else at this point in time. The funding part of it is the stumbling block, there are new approaches being undertaken throughout the rest of Canada in other jurisdictions. This government, through the Ministry of Finance, is looking at how private and public partnerships are reaching other jurisdictions when they try to build new infrastructures. I guess one other good example is that link between Prince Edward Island and the mainland, the bridge. There are different infrastructures throughout the country where these are attempted. Yes, we are exploring internally on how these were set up. We are looking at those possibilities. However, we are different up here that our traffic volume is very low and there is no way we could do the type of initiatives that were done in other parts of the country that are based on high volumes of traffic. Yes, we have to explore these. We have to look at consultation with the stakeholders in this area. Thank you.
