Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we have heard much of what it is now called the Commercial Vehicle Trip Permit Act.

Mr. Speaker, much information needs to be sent out to the public as this will come forward. There is concern that the impact this will have, when you look at the increases in the airline industry, you look at the increases this will have on people in the Northwest Territories. We have to look at what this will actually do.

Some of my constituents have heard rumours of a, at the time, commercial vehicle toll fee that was being proposed. There was some discussion in the media. They are concerned about what impact it will really have on residents with the high cost of living already in the North.

I think as we go through this process and we go to public hearings, if it makes it past this stage, there needs to be a lot more information put out by the government. When committee does travel, that this information is already in the hands of residents because it is a very big act. It is a big change in the Northwest Territories and it will have long-term impacts. There has been a lot of talk about the long-term benefits of this, but there will also be impacts. As you know, the cost of living in the Northwest Territories is rising as we speak.

I am hoping the department and the government will come forward with a lot of information on this, as to what the real impacts will be, Mr. Speaker, not just assumptions. We have heard of the assumptions and, usually when it comes back, people have had more of an impact.

I am going to be watching as to what is coming forward and, as well, what this government plans to do to help residents deal with the cost of living increases as a result of this. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
