Thank you, Mr. Speaker. First of all, the Mackenzie Valley Highway, as I said in my Member's statement yesterday, has been suspended by the federal government while they consider new infrastructure programs. So we're waiting to hear on the details on the infrastructure programs, hopefully when the federal budget comes out here in the next month or so, but there's a significant amount of work that is still going on with the highway. Our environmental assessment has started for the Wrigley to Norman Wells' section. Community consultations have been undertaken by the Review Board and the terms of reference for a developer's assessment report.

So additional work is currently on hold due to funds, and we're also working with ENR on this right now to prepare plans on how to manage caribou and how can that occur together when we build a highway. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
