The approach to the Mackenzie Valley Highway has been long discussed within these Assemblies and the people down the Mackenzie Valley. Certainly we recognize that the federal government will play a huge part in terms of constructing this road here. I look forward to the day when this government and this Minister can bring forward a P3 discussion or we can have some discussions as to the possibilities out there in terms of building part of the Mackenzie Valley Highway. We have yet to see a P3 discussion or paper in front of this Legislative Assembly to look at infrastructure such as this. So we’re very far back in terms of actually putting the steel on the ground, to cut a road into the Sahtu and build a road up to Mackenzie Highway No. 8 up in Inuvik. I just want to make note to the Minister that we have all these things going for us. Are there other things such as the P3 discussion that we can have to say this is one possibility we could look at? Right now we have nothing in front of us to have a meaningful consultation with our people in the regions.
