Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Transportation. Recently, I drove from here back to Fort Simpson, and I noticed that the conditions of the highway from the Fort Providence turn off to Fort Simpson has deteriorated quite a bit. In speaking with some engineers, since the application of this new oil that they put on the highway, it seems to me that the highway people do not really know how to work this stuff.

As a result, the highway has deteriorated. I was wondering if the Minister could tell me if he would have his people review the application, and the maintenance, of this highway, from the Fort Providence junction to Fort Simpson, and down to the B.C. border, as well? Thank you.
