Thank you, Mr. Braden. Before we go to our next speaker, I just wanted to draw Members' attention to the gallery. Today with us we have 22 exchange students from around the world. They are hosted here in Yellowknife by the Yellowknife Rotary Club. They are rotary exchange students, most of which are hosted by families in Alberta. There is one hosted by a family in Hay River. They are on the road in northern Alberta and the Northwest Territories for the next week and I just wanted to take a moment to recognize you all and wish you safe travels and welcome to our proceedings this afternoon.

---Applause

Thank you, committee. Next on the list I have Ms. Lee.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just a short request here. To the commitment that was asked by the Member for Sahtu to the Minister for information on money spent on all the highways. I just want to put it on record that for the first time in I don't know how long, there is not one item here for Highway No. 3, for the next five years.

You know, to the point, I am glad to see there will be lots of resources for other communities. In the Minister's response when he is giving an itemized account on highways and the money spent on them, I would like to ask him to add future year spending too, because there are a lot of items here for other parts and I think that is only fair I just want to add that. Obviously the Member for Sahtu is working hard and he's doing it all. Thank you.
