Thank you, Madam Chair. In his opening remarks, again I will refer to it, if you take a look at Highway No. 4, there is $3 million allocated for that. Again, it is the way they allocate funds I guess. I think in order for us to strive ahead, we should really think about the Tuk-Inuvik highway. That will create a lot of local employment, business and training. I think it is a good opportunity right now that we could work towards. I understand, Madam Chair, what the Minister is stating in regard to the way the fund works but, again, I would like to make one more point that on my list right now in my constituency they really want to see that highway between Tuk and Inuvik. At least we can get out of Tuk in the summertime and go somewhere just like everybody else. Just more of a comment, but we would like to continue to fight that battle, and I will continue to do so for the next three-and-a-half years. That is my plan. Thank you, Madam Chair.
