Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In the past few years there have been numerous accidents involving bison along our highways. I think it is time for the Department of Transportation to put more safety measures in place. Bison are moving further north, and signage alerting motorists of wildlife is needed. I think it would be wise for the department to put large signs on Highway No. 3 indicating buffalo between Yellowknife and Edzo and along the Rae access road.
A few weeks ago, one of my constituents hit a buffalo at kilometre 268, which is between Yellowknife and Stagg River. Their vehicle was totaled. I am concerned that unless safety notices are posted alerting motorists of wildlife, there will be more wildlife hurt and motorists injured and more vehicles will be damaged.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I will have questions on this statement.
