Mr. Speaker, in moving these wide oversized loads through Alberta and into the Northwest Territories, companies have to arrange for a vehicle to accompany them and shut down highways, so it's not just us, it's also Alberta. In working with Alberta and working with the companies, it's been determined that the safest, best way of doing it is to have the vehicles arrive overnight at Rae-Edzo and then they are marshalled there and brought through that piece of unreconstructed highway, about 50 kilometres, during daylight hours. We and the companies have to work together on this and have to find out what's the best way that will cause the least disruption and the least chance of accidents for everybody right through Alberta and the NWT. Any one piece has to make a little bit of a compromise somewhere along the way. Thanks.
