The work that we’re doing right now is trying to capture all the needs in terms of project description reports for the whole of the Mackenzie Valley Highway all the way up to Tuk from Wrigley. We expect to have all that information. We’ve given ourselves a two-year window to gather all that. Some areas are progressing faster than others. We’ve also completed an economic analysis on the whole Mackenzie Valley Highway system. It’s come back positive. With all the information we’ve gathered, we feel we’re in a very good position to move forward.

We have to recognize, of course, that it can’t be done without federal investment in any fashion. Whether we consider being creative in terms of putting together a P3 package, it would still involve considerable investment from the federal government, who still holds the responsibility for road construction across the Northwest Territories;

new road construction. We can’t leave out the fact that as part of new road construction we also have to be able to accommodate the O and M costs. A road from Wrigley to Tuktoyaktuk would have a very significant cost to operate and maintain. That would have to be paid for by either this government or the federal government or a combination of both. So there’s a number of things that we’d have to take into consideration other than just finding the resources to build it.
