Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in the reconstruction of Highway 3 from the Rae turnoff to Yellowknife, the funding for beginning of this construction was approved in this Legislative Assembly last budget session. The department's capital plan, was proposed to start construction this fall. We have made arrangements to begin clearing from the Rae turnoff this way to about Stagg River, which is about 15 kilometres and from Yellowknife towards Rae another section. We have negotiated with the Dogrib Corporation out of Rae to do some clearing and we have negotiated with the band from Yellowknife to do some clearing on the Yellowknife end of it. That work will start this fall and later on this fall, there will be a public-tender issued to begin the actual start of the work. They will be working in the fall after freeze-up in these two areas. Thank you.
