Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am glad the Minister brought up a past answer he did give me. On November 16, during committee of the whole, the Minister stated that a road can be built if it is justified by industry and the public. A good example was given to me, and it was Colville Lake.

Late last year, BHP indicated that they would use a road to the Dogrib region if it was built. So I would like to ask the Minister, as he will be talking to Indian Affairs, if he would go along with the Dogrib leaders, which will give him more power to lobby for an all-weather road all through the Dogrib region? Thank you.
