The National Trade Corridors Fund was laid by the Government of Canada. They did the $400 million carve-out for the northern territories. On the first application, we are successful in acquiring $1.2 million for the Mackenzie Valley Highway for a portion of the road, mostly for the Great Bear River Bridge, the section of Mount Gaudet from Wrigley, and the EA process of the road. On the second round of funding, Mr. Speaker, we did not submit for the Mackenzie Valley Highway, as we have to start on the work that we got the commitment from the federal government to do. Since then, the federal government has announced another $400 million Northern Trade Corridors Funding arrangement with Canada, and in this application, we don't know when the call is going to be coming it. It may be in the remainder of the 18th Legislative Assembly, and it may not be until the 19th Legislative Assembly, so I can't say if we can commit to doing that until we know the timelines around the federal government's application process.
