Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, about a year ago, I raised concerns in this House about Highway No. 2 that goes through old town in Hay River. I must admit, Mr. Speaker, that at that time, the department was quick to respond to some repairs in a couple of locations. I would like to commend the Minister for that.

However, Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the Minister if he would agree that this was a band-aid approach to Highway No. 2 and that section of highway is indeed in need of some major work. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
