Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I guess the same could be said for a lot of our highways and the wear and tear that's coming as a result of resource development. Even Highway No. 3, I know some sections of it are new, and I know I mentioned this last year and I will mention it again, but that road in certain sections, it's like it was just laid on top of Jell-o. It's laid one year and the next year it's up and down. I know the Minister drives that road extensively; he knows what I am talking about. In certain sections, it's quite up and down like a rollercoaster. In some parts of that road, even in the summertime, I wouldn't say it's 100 percent safe. If you hit some of these bumps going 100 kilometres an hour, it could be dangerous in a small car, Mr. Chairman.

The other thing I wanted to just mention quickly so we can move into some other Members' comments, but the increased winter maintenance, I had to ask about this. Does this increased maintenance happen on statutory holidays? The reason I ask is the general public is typically travelling more on holidays. At Christmastime, on December 26th to be specific, there was a foot of snow on the highway between Yellowknife and Chan Lake. It wasn't ploughed and this was all day. I am just wondering, does the maintenance stop on statutory holidays? How does it work on stat holidays?
