Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is to the Minister of Transportation, Mr. Antoine, regarding the speed limits on the highways. Over the past decade there has been a tremendous amount of work done on improving the highway between Yellowknife and the Alberta border. One exception though, is the piece of highway between Yellowknife and Fort Rae which is scheduled for upgrading beginning this year. Mr. Speaker, road travel south has been continuously improving and my thanks to the department for that. The question to the Minister is, now that the highway between Edzo and the Alberta border is improved to standards comparable to southern Canada, could the Minister tell me what process the department uses to determine how the speed on that highway could be increased from 90 to 100 kilometres per hour? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
