Mr. Speaker, I’d like to thank the Member for his question on the highway emergency stoppage of our roads. Highway transportation, from our department and officials.... The safety of the travelling public is number one. When we deem there are safety issues that jeopardize the lives of people who travel on the highway, we will take great measures to close the highway, to fix it up, and to ensure those safety measures are in place on the highway and, when

the highways are opened, that the public is aware of the safety measures in place for their own safety.

With the thawing out in the spring and the amount of water in some of those sections of highway, we take extra precautions in terms of safety for our travelling public. This Highway No. 7 right now is closed for safety reasons.
