Masi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, these questions are for the Minister of Transportation. The Minister of Transportation said in this house that the Department of Transportation had submitted a detailed business case to the Government of Canada proposing a $700-million investment in an all-weather highway from Wrigley to Norman Wells. We would like to see on this side of the House this detailed business case and I wonder if the Minister can tell us where and when we will receive that. Thank you.
Masi. Minister of Transportation.
I’ll have to check with the department and I know we’ve submitted one on the Mackenzie Valley Highway and see where that’s at. I believe it’s going back and forth with the federal government. I will endeavour to check on to it and get back to the Member on that.
Thanks to the Minister for that answer. Can he tell us at what point he’s going to share this business case in any form with this side of the House?
As I said, I will look into it with the department and see where we’re at with the Building Canada Plan and if we’re available to share that, I will share it with the other side of the House as soon as I can.
Mr. Speaker, I’m also looking for a document that is a macro-economic policy framework blends application to the Fortune Minerals Tlicho road. I’m wondering if the Minister of Transportation can share that document with this side of the House.
Again, I will have to check with the department and see where that’s at, see if we’re able to share that document as it has a bunch of detailed information, I believe, in it that I’d have to check on.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, could the Minister of Transportation articulate the terms under which he will share documents for which he is responsible with this side of the House? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Any correspondence that we need to, that we are able to share with the Members of the Assembly, we will share through committee or through tabling of documents in this House…
Can the Minister repeat that? The mic wasn’t on.
I forgot what I said, no.
---Laughter
I said, yes. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’ll have to check on the department, on what we can share with the public and what we can share with the committee and we’re willing to share anything we can through committee or through public release of documents or tabling documents in the House.
Masi. I think that was what he said earlier.
---Laughter
Now it is on the record. Masi. Oral questions. Member for Nahendeh.
