Question 85-19(2): Tlicho All-Season Road  Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It's my understanding that the Tlicho Government was involved with the negotiation of the numbers and the quota for the Tlicho All-Season Road, so I cannot speak specifically to why those numbers were not as the Member would like to see.

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  I apologize. Could the Member repeat his question?

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  As I said before, I can't tell you when the business cases will be completed. I do believe, in the mandate, there isn't a timeline established at this point, but that is going to be dependent on what we get. I did just want to point out some of the value.
