I thank the Minister for his comments in terms of specifically recognizing that there certainly needs to be work done on the signage on our winter roads. I would even go to the extent that if the sign structure division can give some of these dollars to our region in terms of having the contractors do the work in our regions. These contractors put on these winter roads know the roads very well. They’re very well experienced. They know the terrain of our land. They know how to put these signs in and, provided that they’re given the proper resources and equipment to put these signs up properly, they are going to do it very good for the department. Right now I don’t think that’s happening.

I would ask the Minister again to look at this within his department to see if that’s something that could be included in terms of the winter road contractor’s duties as a contractor. That might require a few more papers in terms of having this type of direction from the Minister, but I think it makes a lot of sense when you have people on the road 24/7 doing the work on certain sections within the region. Certainly this would greatly enhance the public image of the Department of Transportation, the road signage and safety in our region. If I was to table some pictures of our road signage in the Sahtu region, I don’t think it would do very much for this department. I want to work with the Minister on this in terms of the signage. Certainly we need a lot of signage on our winter roads. Again, I would ask the Minister in terms of some very assertive road signage in our region in terms of working with our contractors, if that’s a possibility. Thank you.
