Thank you, Mr. Chair. I want to say first off that I’m surprised, because I know my colleague also drove the Dettah Road. I’m surprised that Mr. Yakeleya didn’t mention how rough, how very rough, the Dettah Road is. It’s short; it should be easy to fix.
Fundamentally, Mr. Chair, I do want to support this motion. I’ve also driven Highway No. 5. The Highway No. 7 closure really highlighted the critical nature of that situation, especially at the peak of the tourist and resupply season. Of course, we know Highway No. 6 is also in need of attention.
I just want to speak very briefly to say that there are lots of priorities out there, but clearly here’s one I think we can all agree on. Highway No. 5 has a section that needs some attention, but not the degree of attention that we’ve proposed here. We’re attempting to correct that, and I’ll be supporting the motion.
