Thank you, Madam Chair. I do appreciate Mr. Neudorf’s response. It’s nice to see that we’re contributing to the scientific community on the subject.

Following up on what was stated already from the Member for Sahtu, big oil is telling us, in great numbers, what their intention is here in the Northwest Territories. Yet it seems that as a government, as a department our contribution to the success of that region doesn’t seem to equate; it’s not an equal balance. With trying to look at every opportunity of economic stimulus here in the Northwest Territories, road infrastructure is a critical link to prosperity, and literally it’s our pathway to prosperity.

The Minister has been heard on numerous occasions speaking to gatherings on the subject of a highway strategy, which would outline the basic premise of dealing with exactly what we’re talking about today. How do you prioritize budget? How do you prioritize the impact of a limited budget and also forecast for the future when federal money such as the Building Canada Plan came into effect?

Can the Minister maybe allude to when we can see a preliminary draft of such a strategy? How is this strategy going to have input by Regular Members, by public, by community, by special interest groups and by the industry themselves? So again, I’ll highlight in terms of when can we expect to see this strategy? Thank you.
