Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I thank the Member for raising this question in regard to his constituency and the Liard Highway.

The department did review the locations on the Liard Highway and identified the areas that do need reconstruction, some major reconstruction, in terms

of upgrading the road we have. We have kept the road open to light traffic. We’re hoping that in the next couple of weeks we would lift the ban on heavy use by vehicles.

The department has outlined a two-phase approach to reconstruction and fixing up the Liard Highway. We hope to do the first and second phases within one month’s time. I would be happy to share the detailed information with the Member so he can communicate this to the good people in Nahendeh.
