Thank you, Madam Chair. I am not sure where the Minister is getting his information from with regard to increase in traffic volume on Highway No. 6 and incident rates that are occurring on that highway. I am looking at this acquisition plan, and this is a plan that goes until 2008-09, and it is not even included in 2005-06-07-08 or '09 on this capital acquisition plan. To me that just doesn't make any sense. I drive that highway all the time, as do many residents in Deninu Kue, and the highway extending from the junction to Hay River has really heavy volumes of traffic going back and forth day and night. So I am not sure how the Minister can say that it didn't meet any criteria for any improvement, and also considering the fact that there is a small community that is approximately 20 kilometres on that highway system that also constitutes an increased volume of traffic to and from the community of Deninu Kue. So I just don't know why it would be totally excluded from this whole infrastructure acquisition plan altogether. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
