Thank you, Madam Chair. I thank the Member for his question and his concern. I’ve mentioned this before. We’ve got a couple of big things underway with the Government of the Northwest Territories in trying to grow the economy here and realize the opportunities that exist. The first is the Economic Opportunities Strategy that we are currently in the process of getting into and also the Mineral Development Strategy and I believe we need to conclude those two strategies and feed them into a comprehensive transportation strategy here in the Northwest
Territories. That is going to see us maximize the opportunities that are out there in terms of mineral potential and also other economic opportunities here in the Northwest Territories. To do one before the other, I’m not sure that would be such a good thing. I think we should do the two strategies and tie them all together.
We also are looking at prioritizing expenditures as we go forward and that’s a key part of seeing where priorities are, and any opportunity that I’ve had in the past, I’ve talked to industry about the prospect of partnering on all-weather roads in the Sahtu. That dialogue will continue. I believe – and it’s still early days in the play in the Canol – once the resource is proven up and Husky will be flow testing the two wells that they drill, if there is production, if there is commercialization of the oil, and a big by-product of that oil is gas, I believe that will be a huge game changer for the NWT, for the economy here, for the region and you’ll see things pick up, especially in the area of transportation infrastructure. I believe we will have some willing partners with industry and the federal government to enable us to finally realize the Mackenzie Valley Highway. Thank you.
