Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have a Return to Oral Question asked by the Member for Yellowknife South on June 8, 2001. The Member asked me some questions about the detailed costs of the permit fees proposed under the Commercial Vehicle Trip Permit Act. I was unable to give him specific examples at the time and took the question as notice.

The following week, on June 14, 2001, I tabled an information package on the Highway Strategy and the Commercial Vehicle Trip Permit Act that included a map of the proposed public highway permit zones, the truck axle configurations and the zone to zone permit fees by truck type. The information package allows a person to work out the amount of the highway permit fee for any kind of truck carrying a load between any two points on the territorial public highway system.

Since the information package was tabled, I hope the Member has found it helpful in showing how the permitting system is intended to work and the amount of the permit fees applicable to the different communities in the Northwest Territories. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
