Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the document and the strategy is a living document that will be around for awhile. It is the department's intent to make changes as required. All through the document, you will see that it suggests that there is encouragement for aboriginal companies, aboriginal people to get employment or business opportunities. The strategy really realizes that to have these particular routes put in place would require cooperation and coordination with the aboriginal groups and with the aboriginal communities.

The Lupin road, which I think is giving the Member some concern, is really just a winter road into the Lupin mine country which services the diamond mines at the present time as well as some gold explorations. There is no intention at this time that this is eventually going to become the all-weather route into the Slave Geological Province.

The document clearly states there is going to be involvement with communities to define exactly where an all-weather route would eventually be built in the North Slave. If this route services the communities and the mines at the same time and it is the cheapest route, then that is the route that we will probably take, but there is no decision in this document at this point. Thank you.
