Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

The Department of Transportation clearly hears what Mr. Bromley is speaking about today in terms of the issue of climate change.

We have done a number of studies with various departments: NRCan, Environment Canada and Transport Canada. As a matter of fact, we initiated a pilot project to demonstrate the fuel efficiency of our vehicles. We have adapted heaters in our larger vehicles. We have upgraded the ferry at Tsiigehtchic in terms of fuel consumption.

We’ve done a number of initiatives and will continue to work with the different departments and agencies to continue to adapt and mitigate against the serious issue of climate change in all our transportation modes in the Northwest Territories.
