Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, we got the ITH, Inuvik to Tuk Highway. The PTIC is Provincial-Territorial Infrastructure Component, and it’s for the Building Canada Plan, so it’s Provincial-Territorial Infrastructure Component. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Mr. Chair, it’s difficult for me to give a definite date right now, but we’re just early days in this and we’re trying to develop an option paper as to the Member’s concern. As soon as we make some progress on it… I’ll keep Members updated as to the progress, but we do understand that it is the mandate of the 18th Assembly, so we’ve committed to doing that and I will keep Members updated regularly on the progress of that. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. It’s a reduction, but we do support the community in other ways. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

No, we didn’t. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. For those details, I will ask Ms. Young to respond to that. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Yes, I would, Mr. Chair.
