Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Transportation in regard to the condition of the Dempster Highway at the present time. During the several trips I made over the summer, I noticed there are several areas, I counted five areas, of the Dempster Highway which are corroding and sliding away in which there are two locations where the highway has become a one lane highway system. I think it is detrimental that this government do something about the condition of that road because a number of years ago an MLA from the Yukon was killed on the Dempster Highway because of corrosion of that highway system. I believe it is important that this government and department
take this seriously because the public safety factor is in line with being a dangerous road to drive on, especially with the areas that have been sliding and corroding away. My question to the Minister is, is he aware of this problem and what is being done about it?
