Mr. Speaker, the people in the Sahtu want to get connected with the people of the Northwest Territories and the rest of Canada. They brought this issue up a number of times. I know the Premier has brought this type of discussions with his counterparts, the other Premiers, that have brought them many discussions with the territorial government. I asked this Minister if he would bring together a discussion paper as to how the people of the Northwest Territories can sit down with all of the smart minds in this country, in this Territory, to see how we can build a Mackenzie Valley Highway and get the people in Ottawa to understand that this is an important issue for the people of the Northwest Territories. Ottawa is bound to lose a lot of money by not having this road built in the North.
