Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I will speak to the three key issues that I have just raised. Number one, in terms of injury and fatality rate reduction, our objective is to continue the campaign for public awareness to reduce speed and drive safely according to road conditions. We continue to do that through both media and through our compliance initiatives with our officers. We are also dealing directly with the Department of Justice and the RCMP with regard to increased enforcement on the highway system, ensuring that there is adequate enforcement to deal with speed infractions, to ensure that residents who are users of the highway system are aware of speed and its contribution and violations are not tolerated in that sense.
Number two with regard to alcohol-related vehicle accidents injuries and fatalities, this is a concern that we do not own exclusively. It is across the country. We continue to work with youth through the CYAID program. We continue to work with our jurisdictions with regard to national publicity and campaigns. The Minister has legislation proposals under consideration that would look forward to tougher consequences for those that would not comply with those provisions for drinking and driving.
The final are of seatbelt and child restraint. The department is still and will continue to have underway public relations campaigns that speaks to the usage of seatbelts in the Northwest Territories, which happens to be the lowest in Canada, and the use of child restraint through the fire officers at various communities, who are providing community-based training for proper use of child restraint devices. Most of the problems today with child restraint devices is the inappropriate use of those devices. Those are some of the measures. There are numerous others that we can elaborate on, but those are the key measures to the targets we have discussed previously. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
