Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Transportation. It is in regard to my opening statement. Mr. Speaker, I made reference to the savings in regard to the wear and tear of the roads in the Northwest Territories, especially it will mean a reduction of cost if we consider implementing calcium product on all our roads because there will be less blading to maintain the roads. The cost of gravel will come down because you need less usage of gravel, and also, the question about public safety. I would like to ask the Minister in regard to the percentages that I mentioned, that some 13 percent of the Dempster Highway is currently calciumed, yet 54 percent of the Liard Highway is calciumed and almost 100 percent of the road past Prelude Lake on the Ingraham Trail is calciumed. The same thing applies to Fort Resolution and Fort Smith. What is the department doing to improve those percentages so that we do consider the cost savings to this government by implementing the calcium project?
