Mr. Speaker, the budget that we have, the funding we have for allocation to the Mackenzie Valley winter road is only for during the winter months. We don't have the resources right now to commit to connecting the communities. It would involve a lot of investment. That is something that we are focussing on in terms of some of our submissions to the federal government. Right now, our desire is to improve the winter road, the safety and the reliability of that road, and also put in the necessary signs and improve the visibility of the number of corners that had been raised by the members of his riding. That is what we are focussing on. We are not in a position to commit to connecting the communities first. That would involve a huge investment and resources we don't have at this point. Thank you.
