Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today I have a question for the Minister responsible for Transportation, the Honourable Vince Steen. Last week he stated the speed limit will be reduced on Highway No. 3 from 90 kilometres per hour to 70 kilometres per hour for trucks. This would be in effect on the portion of the road between Stagg River and Yellowknife.
I would like to know if Mr. Steen would also consider long-term ways to improve safety on all territorial highways. For example, would the Minister look into the combined use of running lights and low beams on vehicles? Some vehicles have more than one set of running lights. When these lights are both on, they blind oncoming traffic. Thank you.
