Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, it is a safety issue so that whenever somebody stops at the t-intersection, there is always a possibility of over running the stop sign and perhaps causing some damage to any vehicles parked on the other side of the road. It is the city of Yellowknife jurisdiction at this time, from what I am told. That it is mainly a safety factor that has been used in all other jurisdictions. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I realize it is a municipal issue, but it is regulated by a territorial act. It must be the Motor Vehicles Act or something. I just wanted to thank the Minister for that information, Mr. Chairman, but I also want to indicate that it is not strictly a municipal issue because I believe it is regulated by a territorial act. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The location of the new weigh scale facility is just immediately north of the intersection of the Hay River Highway and Mackenzie Highway intersection, so almost in the exact location of where the current highway maintenance facility is. Thank you.
