Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in the past, there was major rebuilding on the surface of these roads, but this sort of repair is no longer being done on these highways. The result is the poor surface conditions.

Can the Minister get a pilot project in a certain section along Highway No. 3 to see if it would help from further deterioration by using maybe a local contractor from Rae-Edzo or from Yellowknife? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
