The project description discussions, I would say, with the G’asho Got’ine, the Fort Good Hope and Colville Lake district, I believe that later on when I meet with the leaders tonight, I know they had some discussion around this area. They’re very confident that this government here is going to come to a conclusion and sign off a deal. They’re just wondering about... I guess they have to come to agreement on the numbers that they’re using right now. I feel that could be within a matter of days that they will come to an agreement.

My point is that the Minister has given a lot of support to the communities that do need roads in their regions and can this type of project description report evolve into projects that will make sense for people in my region, such as putting roads in the Sahtu? Some discussion about even building a road from Tulita to Norman Wells? Those types of issues. Is that where the project description can lead to, or does the Minister have other ideas as to once we finish all the project description reports, then we go to the next stage? I just wanted to flesh out some of the thoughts of the Minister on the department’s direction as to what’s possible out there in terms of this Assembly and moving on to the next Assembly on this very important issue.
