Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the trip into the Sahtu and Nahendeh was a real good opportunity for us, as Cabinet Ministers and the Premier, to have some discussions with a number of communities along the way. I think we had, over the weekend, probably around six meetings with different organizations in different communities and we had a lot of discussions. The winter road was always on the agenda and we certainly had an opportunity to take a firsthand look at the road. We thought it was a very scenic drive. There are some stretches that probably could use some
improvement. This upcoming fiscal year, our contracts that we have in place for maintenance are coming to an end. They were five-year contracts. We will be reviewing those. We'll be taking a step back to look at our budgets that are allocated for this stretch of road. We also wanted to do some review in terms of talking to the contractors to see what suggestions they may have, what issues they bring forward. We also wanted to take the opportunity to meet with all the players in the industry who are utilizing our road and see if we can come together in a more coordinated fashion for the upcoming winter seasons. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
