Mahsi cho, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, it is unfortunate that the Highway Strategy has been put on the backburners. However, Mr. Speaker, there is an opportunity here to address some of the concerns that were raised during the public review process.

One of the main concerns I heard from people who are not on the road system is that they get to pay but they do not get anything in return. Here is an opportunity for the troll from Transportation and the troll from Finance to get their heads together and come up with ways so communities that are not on the road system will benefit from this strategy.

I have spoken many times in this House on the dust problem and road conditions in our communities. This is one strategy that can address this problem. No one on that side of the House has been able to concretely answer my questions on dust and how it can affect the health of people in the communities -- no one. There are no strategies in place to address that particular issue and I think the Minister of Transportation has the opportunity and time now to address that particular issue, along with the Minister of Finance and Municipal and Community Affairs. They should work together to address that issue.

The other area of concern that the people have in those communities is that the price will be going up, of course, but they do not get anything in return. It is not fair. If the Minister is going to table the strategy again, make it fair for all residents of the Northwest Territories, not just those who are using the highway system. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
