Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, with the increase of traffic that we anticipate to be using the Ingraham Trail this year, to bring mine development and mining supplies and so forth up north of Yellowknife, into the Slave Geologic Province, we anticipate that there is a lot of concern. There is going to be an additional, we are told as an estimate, two thousand more v-trains, the big double loaded fuel tankers, plus all kinds of different semis that will be going into that part of the country.

Yes, the people living in the Ingraham Trail are going to have to exercise a lot of caution this year with these trucks going by. We are told by the trucking firms that they have instructed their drivers to be very cautious. We are also told that if anybody reports any drivers that are being unsafe and causing a very dangerous situation, then the drivers receive a warning, and on the second warning, this is one firm that has informed the department, they will be suspended for a couple of weeks. And the third warning, they will be suspended. I think the industry themselves have realized the nature of the situation. I am told by the department that one of the firms are taking those kind of actions, and I do not know what actions other firms have taken. The industry is very concerned about it.

As for the Department of Transportation, we have met with all the industry and the law enforcement officers. Yes, we will meet with citizens along the Ingraham Trail and the department and we will see what kind of discussion will develop perhaps some actions in the future. Thank you.
