Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In my research I’ve noted that pre-engineering and design to complete the Mackenzie Valley Highway was ready to go to tender package for most of the highway. I appreciate the Minister’s enthusiasm to see this project off and running. I would ask the Minister if he would seriously consider the community approach in terms of building this highway as a long-term economic stimulus in our regions and working closely with his counterparts in terms of meeting with the people in the affected communities at the existing, sorry, the government’s existing programs such as the Opportunities Fund as something they could look at to construct some of the access roads that would have to go into the main highway.
