Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I can inform the Member, yes, the department will do what it can to ensure that the road stays open in a safe condition. One of the concerns though, is that it is very close to the closure period. It has always been done in an area where that time of year the sun is out a lot and the conditions become quite treacherous, very slippery, and again as well, overflow starts to be a concern. The Department will ensure that all that can be done of keeping the road in a safe operating condition will be done, that does not preclude mother nature taking control and changing conditions for us. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
