Given that I am the Member representing the Deh Cho, I feel I have to ask this question. It seems to be the opportune time. I also recognize that it is a federal responsibility, and I know the Members from North Slave and Yellowknife will be quite interested in the subject.
Over the last while, or more specifically over this fall, we have encountered a number of problems with the ferry service, and more recently, the ice bridge where the tanker truck went through the ice. Over the last couple of years, there has been increased traffic flow as the mining projects developed, and it is anticipated there will be more. I am very curious as to the positions that both candidates have and how committed they would be to talk to the federal government regarding a bridge at the Fort Providence/Mackenzie River crossing. Thank you.
