Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is directed to the Minister of Transportation. Mr. Speaker, there is a highway system that runs into BC and joins the Alaska Highway just west of Fort Nelson, BC. This road is an important corridor to the Northwest Territories in that it's advertised in a lot of publications such as the Explorers' Guide, which is a government publication and the Mackenzie Connection newspaper. This is a joint venture between Alberta, BC and the Northwest Territories; they call it the "loop." This area is drawing a lot of tourists in vehicles, bus tours and so forth. It has been said that the road system is in extremely poor condition and there are complaints from visitors; the poor conditions of the road are creating bad publicity. I was wondering if the Minister of Transportation could tell the House if his department is looking at ways of putting some improvements into this highway system.
