Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the only highway system that we have in Nunavut is between Nanisivik and Arctic Bay. It is a 36-kilometre road. This department has been maintaining it. We also have some capital improvements for the airport and the highway at Nanisivik and Arctic Bay. This department has been negotiating with the owners of the mine there. The honourable Member is aware there are discussions between Nanisivik Mines and this department to see if the mine would be interested in taking over the responsibility of that roadway from the dock to the airport and taking over the airport. This department will continue to maintain that road. At the present time, we are still in negotiation with Breakwater Resources, the owner of Nanisivik Mine. We should come to some conclusion in this discussion sometime in the next few months, but at the present time, we are still maintaining the road and the airport. Thank you.
