Thank you, Madam Chair. Just to answer the Member’s last concern that was with the Tuk-Inuvik highway and how we might mitigate the greenhouse gas emissions on that project, that is going to be, I believe, a difficult task. I think we are going to have to, and it is going to be intensive over a short period of time where the construction of that highway would take place. There is going to be a lot of equipment used. Personally I want to ensure that the benefits accrue to local contractors and businesses in the Northwest Territories who may not have the latest emission standards or equipment that might meet what some southern companies might have. I think we have to balance everything off when looking at that to ensure that the work can go to northern companies so that capacity is built here in the Northwest Territories. I would be interested in, again, hearing ways in which the Member and other Members of this House feel that we might be able to mitigate greenhouse gas on a project like the Tuk-Inuvik highway. Thank you.
