Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the department has really been following all along an accepted situation where the federal government is responsible for all new road construction. What we are trying to do is encourage them to build some of these all-weather roads in cooperation with the GNWT. We are arguing that since they are the major beneficiaries from the oil and gas activity and the mining activity, that it is to their benefit to construct these all-weather roads. Thank you.
