Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It is my understanding from the department that these log cabins were part of the original construction. However, I am one of these kinds of people who say, "What is good for Hay River should be good for Nahanni and Fort Liard." We will look at it and see if, in fact, it is feasible and what costs relate to it. We want to make sure in large stretches of the road, particularly during the winter in this part of the country, that there are some kind of survival cabins. Again, Mr. Chairman, we would have to look at it to see what kind of costs would be attached to it. I would be prepared to get back to the honourable Member once we have done an analysis. I would like to say that I have been told, and it may be because I have not been in any accidents, that the cabins which are currently in place between Fort Simpson and Hay River are not used that much. In fact, I am not sure they are being used at all. However, I believe the concern which has been raised is with regard to the accident which took place last year. It is a legitimate concern so we will look into it and get back to the honourable Member before the end of the summer.
