Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chair, I have to commend the Member on her observations. Yes, there is no standard...The standard has not changed for the paint on the highways and normally what the Member is referring to is paint applied to a freshly reconstructed area and usually we get the second layer, which is done in the second year after construction. You will see that it's brighter and more reflective. But the first year after construction, it does go into the pours of the road, or the chipseal, and is not quite as bright. It's interesting that the Member would observe that.
In terms of the road in the community of Hay River, that's something we will make note of. There are other communities that also have raised certain areas in their community where they have concern where there is going to be high traffic volumes. Inuvik has done the same and Fort Simpson also has raised concern. We will continue to look at this. I am being informed by our staff that we haven't had the actual detailed discussions that are required to take place, or will be taking place, in terms of what is right in the communities, but those will be happening. We will try to bring that to the attention of the proponent and see if we can have some plan to resolve that.
Regarding the signs and larger lettering, that's something that there has been some general discussion at the national level. There is no new initiative in place. There are no new requirements in terms of new national standards to increase that, but it has been raised as a concern. There has been some general discussion and we will follow with interest. Thank you.
