I believe that in this proposal we have to look at the development of the Mackenzie Highway coming at it from all sides, north, south, working from the north, south and vice versa, working from Wrigley north. I think that it's an initiative. I think if the aboriginal groups in those regions can work out their differences and find a way to move forward -- and I believe I talked to the president of the tribal council yesterday and that Fort Good Hope is onside now and they are in discussions of doing the highway from Inuvik to Fort Good Hope -- this will increase the cost of oil and gas development in that area. I know there's a question about the oil and gas potential in the Colville Lake area and I think having this infrastructure there will improve that activity.

I'd like to ask the Premier, in regard to this proposal, are there any resources in the Government of the Northwest Territories by way of the Building Canada Fund or infrastructure funding? I believe there is $500,000 that has been identified for research as the federal infrastructure funds are there today. So out of the $500,000, is there a possibility of using those resources to assist with this proposal?
