Thank you, Madam Chair. I don't think we should rely on the road to resources. I think, as a government, we should take that stand and actually connect the three oceans together, Pacific, Atlantic and the Arctic Ocean. Once you do that, you are opening up a whole new highway that is going to go from coast to coast to coast. If you do that, you are opening up...People will have jobs. The economy will be really hustling and bustling up there. I think we can't just rely on what the
federal government is saying. I think we should just get the feds to commit to the long-term dream of what goes back to what Diefenbaker dreamed when he actually went up to Inuvik to finish the Dempster Highway. I think we should continue that dream and continue to complete that road to Tuktoyaktuk from Inuvik and it will bring a lot of benefits back to the Beaufort-Delta, not only for Beaufort-Delta but people along the valley will utilize that some day. The tourists will always go up to Inuvik and they fly down to Tuk. If they build that road, they can drive all the way up. They can dip their toes in the Arctic like they want to do. In reality, I think we should try and get something done with that.
The discussion about the documents that we are talking about, it is a dream, but I think we should pursue that, put our foot down and pursue it. Let's get something done to complete the highway. Thank you, Madam Chair.
