Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In specifics to the department's overall objective for highway safety, we have identified in the business plan of the Department of Transportation a key outcome, which is...say for territorial transportation system, our specific objectives are for the safe movement of people and goods on the highway system. We have targeted three specific things that we want to achieve in our business planning cycle.
Number one is the reduction in the number of injuries and fatalities on the highway system. Number two is the reduction in the number of alcohol-related injuries, accidents and fatalities on the highway system. Number three particularly is the increased usage of seatbelt and child restraint devices in the Northwest Territories.
Within the business plan that the department has brought forward, the department is seeking improvement in all of those statistics throughout the highway system and hopes to report a significant improvement in the territorial results over the three-year period of the business plan. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
