Mr. Speaker, the Department of Transportation and I, as Minister, have communicated with the federal Minister of DIAND and his department, who are responsible. We wanted him to transfer the authority for the winter road from Tibbett Lake north up into the mining area to the GNWT. Recently, the Minister of DIAND decided to turn the authority for that road over to a private consortium made up of the mining companies in that area. We have no jurisdiction and he has decided not to give us any jurisdiction for the time being. Thank you.
