Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, our highway crews from Behchoko, the majority are from that community. We operate and maintain that highway through our own forces. I would have to question and see what would be gained by going to a contract crew. We have good services now. We provide seven-days-a-week winter maintenance services. I would be interested to have that discussion with the Member. Right now, I wouldn't commit to agreeing that it should be provided by a private contract crew. Our preference would be to have a competitive process to hire our employees and to stay with our own forces; however, I would commit to having that discussion with the Member if he so desires.
