Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. Just a couple comments maybe. The first one was that, absolutely, the Mackenzie Valley bridge program is one of our huge expenditures that we are certainly spending outside of Yellowknife. Members consistently bring up the point that let's build our Mackenzie Valley road and we are working towards that. It's not that it's not happening. Just between Wrigley and Fort Good Hope, up to date we'll be constructing 37 of the 40 bridges required to get up to Good Hope, as well as there's lots of many factors. I'm glad that we're having bridges up there because it is extending our highway season, especially with the pressures of climate changes. It's very, very good timing that we can and we're able to do that. Of course, it's with the assistance of our federal infrastructure programming that that's being done, as well as Highway No. 3. Our federal infrastructure programming is going to end in two years and certainly the Member is right. Once all the construction that's necessary for Highway No. 3 is expected to be completed within two years and certainly once we get another infrastructure pot of money, either sets of three or highway boards infrastructure fund we can look at reallocating other priorities that's in our beautiful Northwest Territories. We'll continue to work towards that and continue to improve our infrastructure. All our infrastructure is a priority, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.
