Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my department has been working along with other provinces and territories and the federal government on the preparation of this document. It is largely a policy document at this point, so there are no specific strategies or dollars that are deemed in it. There is one section in the report that deals with transportation in remote areas. There are a number of broad statements in it, but again not a specific strategy. At this point, it would be difficult to outline exactly what it has for the North, except the one positive thing in there is certainly recognition of unique problems in remote areas.
