Therefore, Mr. Chairman, I move that this committee recommends that the Department of Transportation reassess its short-term priorities. The objective of the reassessment is to ensure that the maximum number of residents of the Northwest Territories benefit from the expenditure of capital dollars on the highway program.
The committee further recommends that the four highways listed below be reconsidered in conjunction with this objective. Reconsideration should involve the movement of capital funds in the 1994-95 fiscal year for the reconstruction and/or paving of the following highways: highway 5, Fort Smith; highway 8, Dempster; highway 6, Fort Resolution; and highway 1, Fort Simpson.
