Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, this winter road improvement is for the winter road extension north from Wrigley to the communities of Tulita, Fort Good Hope, and Norman Wells. The winter road improvements, what we would like to do in this year 1997-98, is supply portable bridges to some of the creeks. Perhaps I will just name them off. At Whitesands Creek Bridge, which is kilometre 731, we plan to put in an 18 metre portable bridge there. Celina River, which is kilometre 832.4, we would like to put an 18 metre portable bridge there. At No-Name Creek, kilometre 944, we plan to put a relocator bridge and put a permanent bridge there, a 24 metre bridge. Vermilion Creek Bridge, which is kilometre 984.4, we plan to put in a permanent bridge there which is 42 metres long, and Canyon Creek Bridge, 1,009.3 kilometre, we plan to put a permanent 30 metre bridge there. We would like to do some minor grade improvement costs, but the bulk of the costs of the $700,000 will be towards putting in bridges at five of the problem creeks that we have in that section north of Wrigley. What we would like to do every year is make improvements at these river crossings, so that we will not have problems such as we have been encountering with Fisheries and Oceans over the last couple of years. Thank you.
