Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to ask the Minister if his department has ever looked at the feasibility or the possibility of restricting truckers on our highway system on certain days. The largest volume of traffic that travels south is from Yellowknife. I am sure as far as the insurance companies are concerned, much of the insurance coverage deals with windshields and rock damage. I no longer buy windshield insurance because it costs more than the windshield itself. I am sure this is one of the biggest problems on our highway system. I have asked our research people to look at what other jurisdictions have restrictions with regard to the transportation of large vehicles. Is this something which you are looking at?
