Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I indicated earlier, we are looking at other alternatives to the chipseal program that we've been focusing on for the last while. While the chipseal program would deal with the dust issue on the main street, we still have all the other roads in the communities that have a problem with dust. So we have done a study for dust control. We hired a contractor. We have that report now. We are working with a number of communities to put this in place. It requires an analysis of the materials that are being used in the area to construct the roads. Once you determine that, and we are able to use different modes of applying dust suppression...we have embarked on this as a pilot project already; and we are looking at four communities, those of Fort Good Hope, Tulita, Lutselk'e and Fort McPherson. We've done the sampling, and we expect those reports back, and we plan to apply the appropriate dust suppressant by this coming summer. Thank you.
