Thank you, Madam Chair. I realize that I'm sort of discussing this sort of in a general way, so I'll just leave this as my last question. If the Minister could tell me if there are any concrete meetings that he knows of that he will have with his federal counterpart or any other provincial Ministers that he could share with us. Also, I'm wondering if we should give thought to passing a motion, or debating in this House, about the importance of the Mackenzie Valley highway all the way to Tuk. Sometimes a resolution in the House helps to...I don't know. I'm assuming that northern residents, reduction of that or increasing the deduction, that resolution I'm hoping would help this government and the new MP push that idea. There has certainly been discussions about housing possibilities coming out of the Mackenzie Valley pipeline, so why not about the road? I mean, it's pretty right up there. Maybe Minister McLeod is working privately and working with his counterpart, but maybe it would be a good thing to say that we support this project. I can't remember if we did that already previously, but, you know, we should try to talk about what our territorial vision is about the highway, that we need to have a highway within the Territories and it should go all the way to Tuk. It is a good idea, now that the pipeline thing is...You know, I think it is time for us to make a statement on that. Sorry; I guess I can bring that up in AOC. I'll talk to my colleague there, but I think maybe we can work on that. I don't know if the Minister wants to comment on that.
