Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There is a north outside the boundaries of Yellowknife. There is a north where people do not have highway systems. They do not have transportation systems. Some communities are serviced once a year by barge. Also, there are other projects in the Northwest Territories, like the road up the valley, a road to link Tuktoyaktuk to Inuvik and major construction work to be done on the Dempster Highway, as well as other roads where the maintenance level has fallen. Just so the public knows, not all Members are on this Resource Management and Infrastructure Committee. Just so the Minister fully understands, the report and this committee motion here, I am not going to support this motion. It is too open-ended. It gives a priority to the acceleration of Highway 3 and forget about the rest of the Territories. I do not think so, Mr. Chairman, so I will be voting against the motion.
