Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I understand that the accident that happened at kilometre 286 last night on the highway to Rae-Edzo, at that curve and the load was bags of cement, and there were no injuries. The RCMP are investigating. That is what I have been told today, just to clarify that particular incident. Over the years, as I have travelled on the highways numerous times, I have seen a lot of different accidents over the years, not only on that section, but throughout the highway systems.
I have been told by a crew in Fort Providence that since they improved the highway between Providence and Yellowknife, there have been fewer, almost no accidents and no fatalities, as a result of the improvement in the road conditions. The only section that we have which is extremely bad and needs repairing is the section between Rae and Yellowknife. I informed the Members yesterday, that the department is seriously looking at that, and hopefully we have money approved to start reconstruction in the next few years. As for the speed limit, like I said the other day, I have not made a commitment to lower it, but if that is the direction that I am hearing from Members of this House and members of the public for added safety then we will seriously consider it. Thank you.
