Thank you, Mr. Speaker. On the whole issue of the transportation strategy for the Northwest Territories, I have already directed Mr. Antoine as Minister of Transportation to dust off the strategy that was presented at the 11th Assembly, 1991, and to revisit that and do the work necessary to update it. There is some initial work that has already been done and they are working, the transportation department, aggressively on the Transportation Strategy, specifically with the road from Wrigley to Tuktoyaktuk and the road from Yellowknife to Coppermine to the Great Slave's geological area. The initial numbers, so far, have already shown that it could mean as much 36,000 jobs to Canadians and it shows that they can be viable.
