Thanks, Mr. Chair. Just before somebody tries to say that I don't support the road or that I don't support tourism or that I don't support communities, which I am sure somebody is going to try to accuse me of at some point, I do believe that the community needs to be supported in getting ready for this project. I just question the very highly unusual way of doing this through the Executive, through a supplementary appropriation, rather than as part of proper project planning. This sort of one-off request, I think, opens the door for other kinds of one-off requests that may come forward. Can we expect that there is going to be a similar application for funding, say, from the Inuvik Community Corporation or the Town of Inuvik to help them get prepared for this highway and the benefits that it could bring? Thanks, Mr. Chair.
