Also on Friday afternoon, I noticed a new sign indicating a curve and posting a lower speed limit when turning onto the gravel surface. Mr. Speaker, because of the maintenance now happening on the road, Highway No. 3 is a little bit safer for the public to drive. I urge the Minister to ensure that this work continues this week as well.

In the past, I have stated that when the staff does work on the road, the quality of work that is done is good. It just needs to be done more often for safety's sake. Mr. Speaker, as an MLA, my job is to lobby for and ensure the safety and well-being of my constituents and I take this job very seriously. For three years, I have been raising concerns about the condition of Highway No. 3 in this House. It is sad that for the most of this time, my suggestions and concerns have been put in the ignore file. I have had numerous people tell me that my concerns about the road are valid. What is of issue here is the safety of all Northerners. I urge all Members of this House to travel the whole section of road between Yellowknife and Rae and make up their own mind about the condition of this road. Highway No. 3 is a lifeline to health care and it is a link to the central goods and services for my constituents. It is critical that this road be monitored and maintained effectively. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
