Thank you, Madam Chair. Absolutely. Our Mackenzie Valley road includes the Tuk to Inuvik segment and it remains a priority of our government in all our strategy documents; Corridors for Canada I, Corridors for Canada II, as well as Connecting Canada: Coast to Coast to Coast. I, myself, as a new Minister, did make my trip to Ottawa. I did pound on doors and met with the Minister of Transportation, the Honourable Mr. Cannon over there and indicated our government's desire to continue with this project. In fact, they do indicate, too, that it is hinged on development of a Mackenzie gas project, as well. They just don't see how they can do it if there is no...For them it is a road to resources issue as well as many of our roads are in the Slave Geological Province as well. It is how they consider it. So if the resources are there, then it is time to build roads to get at it. We continue to press the matter with the federal government. There are just no indications of any type of special announcement for the Mackenzie Valley highway other than...We are in the dark, along with all the rest of Canada, awaiting the March 19th budget speech from the federal government.

In terms of the Tuk to Inuvik highway, I must be missing 20 kilometres because our research is saying it is 140 kilometres for the Member there. In 1999 dollars, Madam Chair, it was pegged at $100 million from Tuk to Inuvik. We haven't been using that figure for a while. We have been using it in Connecting Canada: Coast to Coast to Coast where there was $700 million for the whole segment, to complete the whole road. That is the number we are using these days, Madam Chair. Mahsi.
