Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Minister referred to industry as the key into putting funds towards the Ingraham Trail. The Minister and department know that at the end of Tibbett Lake where the winter road starts, the trucks go through there. It does not matter what shape they are in. It does not matter what it looks like. If the ice is cracked, they will go on it. The portages are bumpy and rough. They still go on it. I do not see the sense in realigning and putting a lot of money into the Ingraham Trail when it is already in good shape.
I just drove it yesterday, like I said, and not put any funds towards the Hay River Reserve road or Kakisa or even the winter road access...even the Rae access needs a lot of work on it. I know the money was put towards it, but as you said, you have to keep on maintaining what you have. I am sort of puzzled. If these guys can drive on the winter road that is rough already, why are we putting so much money into it when they are going to drive on it anyway? Thank you.
