Quyanainni, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my final question is: can the Minister speak on some of the ways the government has been preparing to mitigate the possible negative impacts of the highway, such as unforeseen major maintenance costs? Quyanainni, Mr. Speaker.

I appreciate the response from the Minister. Mr. Speaker, my second question is how is the Government of the Northwest Territories working with Canada as well as Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk to prepare for the grand opening?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Inuvik to Tuk Highway is scheduled to open in 2018. Canada will be connected from coast to coast to coast. It is an important milestone in the evolution of the north and is another change in the region that has experienced dramatic irreversible changes as the people of the Arctic move from the Stone Age to Jet Age into the digital age in a matter of a few generations. Soon we’ll be connected to the rest of the continent by an all-weather road. Mr. Speaker, in many ways it’s a good thing. It will increase opportunities for social and cultural interaction...
