Thank you, Mr. Chair. The money referred to here was for some one-time funding that we received from Transport Canada. It was to construct a couple of test sections on the Inuvik-Tuk Highway, test sections so that we can test some different construction techniques and how they perform in areas with permafrost.
As the Member had indicated, we do continue to also promote the next section of the Mackenzie Valley Highway, the section from Wrigley to Norman Wells. We have a proposal in with the federal government, a business case for that for $700 million to construct that section. We're really still in the early stages talking about the financing of it. We would hope that, you know, if we do get a positive signal, that part of what we would be doing there is of course ensuring that we're protecting the permafrost as much as we can during construction. Then looking for whatever opportunities there are to do some addition research as well, but that will come later. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
