Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this concern was raised in the spring of increasing the paved and chipped-sealed section of the Mackenzie Highway from the border towards Yellowknife to Rae-Edzo to increase the speed limit from 90 to 100. Mr. Speaker, I am told by the Department of Transportation that I am Minister of that there is a Public Highways Act which states that the maximum speed limits we could pose is 90 kilometres per hour. If we are going to increase it to 100 like the honourable Member was suggesting earlier on was that we need to make an amendment to the act, the legislation.
The length of this Legislature is very short and our legislation is quite full. This is kind of a low priority in our whole legislative agenda. The department has not moved any amendments forward to increase it, but there are other ways of dealing with it. We know there is a concern and I, myself, travel the highway quite a bit. I know that once you come to the 60th parallel out of Alberta you come from 100 kilometres per hour speed to 90. You slow down quite a bit. Being in harmonization with Alberta, we should take a look at it. Thank you.
