Mr. Speaker, I am sure that I do not have to remind the current Minister that, on March 6, 1992, this House passed a motion recommending that the Department of Transportation re-examine all its policies for a cost benefit basis in light of the fundamental needs of residents of the Northwest Territories. I want him to know that we are not getting value for money with the highway patrol. It does not address our fundamental needs. As a Legislature, we are going to have to decide whether we want to be in debt or move ahead. If it is the latter, we will have to make cuts to programs and services that are presently beyond our financial means. I propose, by downsizing highway patrol operations, we will eliminate current duplications of services and achieve a more even distribution of dollars to all the regions of the Northwest Territories. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
