Thank you, Madam Chair. Although I appreciate that answer, and I think that's fantastic that more licensing opportunities are available online, I do not believe you can get your first NWT license online. So until that is the case, I'll keep asking for Saturdays in memory of the previous Member for Yellowknife North. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. With the climate change and winter roads going in later and closing earlier, is there any significant savings in this department?

Madam Chair, unfortunately not. If anything, it's actually the opposite. It winds up that to get those roads in, even for the shorter season, is also costing more. And then to maintain them through those seasons, through the season with the more volatile weather and greater number of storms, again is actually also costing more. And, in fact, I don't have numbers for actuals for this particular fiscal yet, but it is significantly more. Thank you.

Okay, how many winter roads do you fund within the Northwest Territories, whether it's just an access across the road or the one from Inuvik right to Aklavik; how many roads do you fund in this category here? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I want to say all of them but that's not, I realize, an actual number that I can point to. So I'm just trying to see quickly if I can pull that number at my fingertips. If I don't find it and no one else does instantly, we will make sure and provide that to the Member. Thank you.
