The activities in the Sahtu could greatly improve the economic base in the Northwest Territories. If they are right, the

geologists, the ones I talked about, are right on the amount of reserves that are in the Sahtu, and the exploratory companies now want to go into developing it further and go into production. This is what I’m looking forward to the Minister’s responses to the impacts that could support the Sahtu infrastructure. Right now, because we don’t see too much, we are seeing, what, two, three, $300 million being spent in the Sahtu? We’re talking billions here. That’s quite wild right now because of just what we think could be there.

I’m asking for the Minister’s analysis or projection in the infrastructure that could happen up in the Sahtu. Are we ready for it? Are we ready to support what possibly could be happening in that region in the next two or three years in regard to the infrastructure? We could be the driving force of the economy in the Northwest Territories. I would be so happy, that in the Sahtu, if we go through our procedure properly and we handle it properly, we wouldn’t need so much support from the GNWT. We could be in that position if we play our cards right. The Sahtu could actually be in a position where it could not need the GNWT as much as we need them right now today, but we don’t know. That’s why I want to ask the Minister in regard to the marine. We may not have seen much right now, as I said. When will the Minister have an analysis of the infrastructure plan or strategy to present to committee here in regard to the potential impacts that could happen in the Sahtu in regard to transportation?
