Thank you, Madam Chair. I remember now why I had seen that number recently. It was because it was sent to committee yesterday, so I am sure the Member has received that yesterday. Perhaps he didn't. I don't know. I am not going to speak for that, but the numbers are in there. We can send them again if Members need to re-see that. In terms of some of the costs for rebuilding, it would vary. I will ask ADM Brennan to see if he has got any of the costs associated with building new highways. Because the Northwest Territories is so vast and we are different geographically, we are different that way, so I will get the ADM. Thank you.

Yes. Thank you, Madam Chair. In terms of replacing of the highways, we are under a constant reconstruction of our highway system, so that is one of the things that the department has always asked federal funding for, was to continue to reconstruct or maybe maintain the highway system. Currently, we spend about $38 million a year, $22 million federal, $16 million of money under our chipseal bridges and culverts budget, in what we consider to be rebuilding our highways, and that, that money, tends to roll year over year. We try to have long-term agreements with Canada. Right now, we are using our building Canada plan funding, which expires in 2023-2024, at $22.5 million per year plus our $16 million per year. Thank you, Madam Chair.
