Thank you. Last summer, I was raising concerns with the previous Minister of Transportation about the state of some of the highway system in my constituency. During the summer, it was very rough. I sometimes drive to Yellowknife to do my work over here. Normally, it takes about seven to eight hours, but last summer it took me longer because the roads were very bad. I think that was the first summer they tried something different. I think they put oil on certain parts of the highway system. The workers who put this oil on, DL-10 recommended by your department, were telling me they are supposed to work it a certain way, but they were treating it like a calcium approach to the highway. As a result, the road conditions were very bad in some areas. By the time freeze-up came, I do not think these roads were fixed the way they were supposed to be. I am anticipating another very bad driving summer in my area. Could the Minister tell me if his department is going to do something about the road conditions in my constituency? Thank you.
