Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I concur with the observation. We are challenged in the commercial compliance area with monitoring of the trucking industry. In the past year, we did reopen the Liard scale, which had been closed for about eight years. We did staff it with a new officer. Thank goodness we had, because from both a compliance point of view and a revenue point of view, it has paid its way. We believe it has made sure that section of the highway is safe.
At this point in time, we are looking at the Dempster Highway activity. We are assessing that very carefully this year. We have two officers, two staff in the Inuvik region who provide this service. We are looking at it very carefully right now to see if we will have to beef that up for next year's activity load which, from all we can tell, is going to be quite different than what we have seen this year.
In the Enterprise and North Slave region, we have managed to keep our coverage quite good and have mobilized our mobile unit to ensure the compliance side is kept up.
It is something we are going to have to continue to look at but at this point, we think we have ample coverage between the North Slave and the South Slave for the time being. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
