Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, last spring this House saw fit to pass legislation which I had introduced and which made it mandatory to have headlights on when people are driving on the NWT roads. Mr. Speaker, I have received many positive comments on this legislation, particularly from elderly people and from parents. Unfortunately, I recently drove to Fort Providence, Hay River, and to Fort Resolution, and I did not see any signs up yet instructing people that it was the law to have their headlights on. I also drove around town here and I have not seen any indication of that either, Mr. Speaker. I have received complaints from constituents, particularly those who live out on the Prelude Lake area, that there are a lot of people driving back and forth and many of them do not have their headlights on and it is dangerous, especially when it is snowing .
I do not know why it has taken so long to have these new signs put up, Mr. Speaker, but I know that when DPW used to put up the signs, make them, it seemed to be a pretty smooth process. They made the signs and they would go out fairly quickly. At least they did one summer a few years ago, when my son worked for DPW.
