Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As we have indicated, the Dogrib chiefs had been invited to work through a committee to look at the issues of building infrastructure within their region. This committee has not been active. In fact, I do not know that it has even been activated. In the meantime, time was of the essence. When the federal government indicated they were interested in seeing us put a proposal forward in very short order, we took literally about two weeks and built on what we think is a well-substantiated, rational argument for getting infrastructure dollars to enhance, maintain and improve our existing infrastructure. In large part, this is the proposal that we put forward. As Members who have travelled with us to Ottawa have indicated, it is being well received. It is seen as a well-substantiated proposal. Thank you.
