Mr. Speaker, I think you really have to hit the federal government between the eyes to get their attention. They are standing to lose $13.3 billion by not having this road built into the Mackenzie Valley. That is what they stand to lose. They are the biggest winners or they are going to be biggest losers, but people of the Northwest Territories need to do something more to get their attention. Again, would the Minister look at different avenues such as aboriginal groups, other companies out there that could build, finance the road? Ask them to look at it again to see if the federal government will pay attention to say this road we need to do it to connect the people in the Northwest Territories with the rest of Canada.
