Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I am told that the route the Member is referring to was used for a number of years as a winter road into Rae Lakes and Lac La Martre. At the time, there were some concerns made by the community and they were opposed to the road. Because it was along the route they are using now, the decision was made to switch to the existing route for a winter road. As to why the road all the way to Great Bear Lake was ever planned or what the plan was for that particular route, I have no information on that. Thank you.
