Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we have had several discussions with the Department of Indian Affairs. They've invested in this road. They've, this year, allocated additional dollars for this road. We've also managed to set up a partnership arrangement for the road that was leading into Colomac and also into Wekweeti. We are now, as a department, the oversight agency that looks after all the winter roads. This was in response to the chief of Wekweeti wanting us to arrange so that the season could be open longer. Over the history of this road there is only, I think, a one-month window that the community is able to get in and out. So we have taken over the responsibility of managing that project and we're hoping that we will be able to open the road earlier and extend the season.
The indication, as the Member has referenced as to money being earmarked as part of the budget for Corridors for Canada II is, I think would be very obvious that we are very interested in developing this road. As resource development continues to put pressures on our winter road systems, we are really being pressured by the communities to do so. Thank you.
