Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We have heard on the radio this morning about my region mourning the loss of a young man from Snare Lake. This young man was 25 years old and had not even started his life. Gerry Kodzin was a very bright and ambitious young man. His parents were very proud of him. He worked hard and helped his family with trapping and hunting. He provided his friends
and family with many happy memories; unfortunately, his life came to an end on the dangerous Highway 3 between Yellowknife and Rae.
As many people before have said, the road needs to be upgraded, it is a very dangerous 100 kilometres that has claimed many people over the years and still no work has been done. How many more of our people will lose loved ones on this stretch of highway before anything is done to this highway to be safer? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
