Mr. Speaker, this money for investment in the winter road program is part of the NWT/Canada Strategic Infrastructure Program. Our areas of investment were decided through a proposal called Corridors to Canada where a number of different areas were identified and accepted by the government. Since then we have had changes in resource developed related impacts in the North and we've had to make some changes. We've discussed this with our partners, the Government of Canada, and to date have moved some money into Highway No. 7, the Liard Trail, and are also planning to invest money on Highway No. 1. We have to recognize that the impact is happening all along Highway No. 1 as it leads into the Sahtu, and the road is becoming a safety issue. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
