Madam Speaker, it is part of our vision to see an all-weather road. It is not within our authority to be able to commit the required resources needed to build this road. The road between Wrigley and up the Mackenzie Valley to connect to the Dempster is roughly $400 million. That is something that we need to be able to convince the federal government to do. The roads or new roads, all-weather road, is still something that falls under the jurisdiction of the federal government. We will do everything in our power. I want to give that comfort to the Member that we will make every effort to bring that focus to the federal government. We are drafting a new proposal to bring forward and it does focus on connecting communities and it does focus on looking at the cost of living in the Territories, especially in the smaller, isolated communities. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
