Philip Earle at the Indigenous and Northern Affairs Committee

As you and I would know—I think it's important for our colleagues to understand this—in the wintertime, food is trucked from Havre-Saint-Pierre to Fermont and down to Blanc-Sablon and the communities there.

I was a bit surprised that you didn't talk about Route 138, which stops right now in Kegaska. If that particular road was constructed to connect all of the lower north shore, taking it into Old Fort and Blanc-Sablon and giving a connection to the island, how do you see that as benefiting the economy of the lower north shore and bringing down costs? Do you want to speak to us about that for a few minutes?
