Thank you, Madam Chair. I just want to make a comment for the Minister, and I know his staff is here as well and I've also got the ear of the Minister of RWED over there. I've heard the Minister say he's working with the Minister of RWED. One of the things that I think that the highway system could use and I know when you are traveling north into the Northwest Territories and you go through the Mackenzie Bison Sanctuary you're liable, obviously, to see bison on the road. I think if we had a look at developing some type of interpretive centre on the highway, maybe we could even fence in some bison so that people could actually stop there and have a look at the bison instead of just hit and miss if you run into them or not. But I think it's an idea that has some merit, and I wouldn't mind if maybe the Minister and the Minister of Transportation might have a look at this and see if it's at all possible to develop something like that. When you are traveling that long road, there's not too much to see or to stop at. That's quite a distance from Fort Providence to Rae and then into Yellowknife. So if there was something between Fort Providence and Rae, a bison interpretive centre, I think that would be really nice for visitors on the road system. I don't know if it would be feasible at all, but it would be nice. Thank you, Madam Chair.
