Good afternoon and thank you very much, Mr. Speaker.
---Applause
I would like to, first of all, just indicate to the honourable Member that the Inuvik to Tuk road and access to source 177 is a long-standing priority of this government and the Member is also aware that at the conclusion of this session, officials from the Department of Transportation will be going up to Tuk to meet with the Inuvik/Tuk committee and discuss some of the issues surrounding getting to the source 177.
Further to that, a lot of the cost that's included in the whole Inuvik to Tuk highway, the access to source 177, is wrapped up with the federal government once again, Mr. Speaker. Right now we're kind of hampered. We're waiting on some decisions for some funding through the highways and borders infrastructure funding from the federal ministry. I hope that's helpful to the Member at this time, Mr. Speaker.
