Thank you, Madam Speaker. It wouldn't be question period without a question on the Mackenzie Valley winter road. Madam Speaker, I certainly can commit that we are in the process of drafting a proposal to bring forward to the federal government. Historically, we have a highway strategy that we use. It was drafted in the year 2000 and is called Investing in Roads and includes the information and dollar amounts that we, at that time, recognized as the need for infrastructure and the road system and the highway transportation system in the Northwest Territories. I will certainly commit to the Member that we will share any information that comes forward.

As part of our new proposal, we would like to share that with the committee. We would also like to share that information with the other Members who have requested and identified new transportation systems and links in the Northwest Territories. We also will share with the Member some of the Canada-wide initiatives taken on by the Premier in his discussions with the western Premiers on a transportation strategy. Thank you.
