Mr. Chairman, at this time, I am only aware of my department negotiating access to Colville Lake winter road.
I am not aware of my department negotiating with anyone else for access to winter roads or for the input to winter roads. I do know that the federal government did tie certain conditions to the millions, the $3.7 million we will receive from them, in that there has to be partnership sharing. There is a suggestion there that we have to find $200,000 of input from industry for us to put into that bridge project. That is the only other negotiations that I know of that may take place.
There is talk between my department and the oil and gas industry, for instance in the Beaufort, as to how and who controls winter roads on the river. Things like that we have to talk out with them all the time and whether or not it is going to be cost sharing, we have not decided on that yet. We are always talking with the oil and gas industry, the mining industry, as to how we could cost share if possible.
