Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today I want to make a Member’s statement in regards to the BRB, or the Bear River Bridge, a vital infrastructure link on the proposed Mackenzie Valley right-of-way between Fort Wrigley and Norman Wells, a distance of 330 kilometres. This link has a bit of history on it. It was procured by the previous, previous government back in 2006 and as a result of limited resources, was postponed and deferred to this Assembly. In preparation for that, the Hamlet of Tulita, in my discussions with the mayor, is in a position now to move ahead and explore options available when considering -- and he has considered -- the physical situation of our government. The readiness approach would engage into discussion between this government and his community and his public members, and later I will have questions to the Minister of Transportation. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
