Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to bring your attention today to the issue of Highway No. 3 maintenance priorities. If you have ever met someone who is new to the North and has just come into town after driving Highway No. 3, they are easily identified. They are the ones with the bulging eyes and sweaty palms.
Mr. Speaker, our road to Rae has a reputation as one of the most dangerous road sections in the Northwest Territories. However, when there is a snowstorm, all the heavy equipment is in the City of Yellowknife or on the Ingraham Trail. I believe we are putting people's lives at risk here. Since last week, since the first storm, two of my constituents have had accidents on Highway No. 3, both rollovers.
Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Transportation promised that Highway No. 3 would be a priority. I still do not see that. I will have questions for the Minister at the appropriate time. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
