Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question today is to the Minister of Transportation. Mr. Speaker, the Sahtu region has recently witnessed an increase in the volume of traffic driving our winter road.
- Given the period the winter roads are in operation and the increase in oil and gas activities, what types of tracking methods are used by the department to keep track of numbers of vehicles?
- How many accidents were reported within the Sahtu winter road system last year?
- How or what steps have the department implemented in the Sahtu for safety measures?
- What are the policies to handle emergency responses for travellers within the Sahtu region?
Thank you.
