Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, on the low-bed trailer the project was tendered late; we expect it to be delivered in 2016-17. On the loader, again the vehicle was tendered late this year due to change-over in critical staff in the transition period, but tender closed on May 16, 2016. As to who the successful proponents are, I'm not sure of that. We can share that information again with the Member. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just a couple of points of clarification on some acronyms. "RWIS" relating to RWIS Highway No. 1 and Highway No. 8. What is "RWIS"?

Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, to be quite honest with you I'm not sure what-- I would assume the first two would be road-widening because there is some work going on for road widening. As for "RWIS" I will get the acronym and distribute it to Members. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. While the Minister is getting that information could he also get what "ITH" is, for ITH permafrost?

Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, we got the ITH, Inuvik to Tuk Highway. The "PTIC" is Provincial Territorial Infrastructure Component, and it’s for the Building Canada Plan. So it's Provincial Territorial Infrastructure Component. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
