VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Reuters) -- Political leaders in Canada's far north have revived calls to build a permanent road to the country's Arctic coast to develop the region's huge energy and mineral resources.

Building the Mackenzie Valley Highway would cost about C$700 million ($600 million), but could be partly paid for with tolls or fees on oil and natural gas development, according to a report released this week by the Northwest Territories government.

Favour or opposed?
