Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, over the past year, the Member has been raising this issue in this House. As a result, he has made us aware that there is the potential for an all-weather road route following the old seasonal winter road into Lac La Martre. As a result of this, I had the opportunity to take a helicopter trip with the department and review this route some time this winter, and there is potential for an all-weather route using that particular road.

However, taking it further from there into Wekweti or into Rae would require quite a bit more engineering. We are just doing preliminary looks at this time. The department is thankful for the Member for bringing these routes to our attention and the potential for them to become all-weather roads.

At this point in time -- I do not want to stir up any false hopes here -- but we are looking at what the Member is suggesting. Thank you.
