Mr. Chairman, I believe the Member is referring to our Highway Investment Strategy. Through that strategy, we have plans to construct all-weather roads in the Mackenzie Valley to the Beaufort Sea. This would serve to connect those communities in that area to the highway system.

We have identified in the Highway Investment Strategy future investments. At the time the strategy was put in place, the department and this government had a very limited source of funding that we could direct towards that type of construction. It does put the department in a position where we cannot address all the needs that have been identified by everyone in the Territories.

In particular, as you get further and further off the general route, some of these routes that are being suggested now were just possibilities at the time we put the Highway Strategy together. I think it would be beneficial that we looked at this Highway Strategy as a living document rather than simply something that is written in stone. I think we are looking at this document as something that would be reviewed on an ongoing basis. That would probably address the needs that some Members have brought up here.
