Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So the department has reviewed the request to chip seal the Marine Bypass Road. So the current cost estimate, and I say that loosely because it may change, is about a million dollars, which is about three times the cost that is incurred in southern Northwest Territories. As there are no paving equipment in Inuvik or in the community, we'd have to bring contractors in from Whitehorse. In order to maximize local benefits and to keep the cost down, we should align this work with some of the paving that's happening at the Inuvik runway.

So Mr. Speaker, I can commit -- you're welcome -- to doing this work at the same time as Inuvik runway. And I'm hoping with that answer, Mr. Speaker, I get no more supplementary. Thank you.
