I appreciate the Member raising this question because this is an area that we’ve had several discussions with the diamond companies that have signed the MOU with us. This is one of the areas that has been identified as a concern with contractors from the mines. One of the things that the diamond mines had committed to was to work with the contractors to ensure that they were using northern drivers and trucks. So whatever information the Member has would be helpful in helping us resolve it. As well, I’ll work with the Minister of Transportation, who has specific information about trucks that are operating in the Northwest Territories.
