Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the department did hold committee meetings with all stakeholders down the Mackenzie Valley, but also in the North Slave. The department did have consultations with the communities in the North Slave and the decision for a route in the North Slave, an all-weather road, will depend on many factors, including which route will serve the largest number of communities, the largest number of mines, which route would have the most construction material available, and also environmental impacts. There are all kinds of issues involved in picking the route. I wish to assure the Member that his communities will be involved if there are discussions on an all weather route in the North Slave.
