Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’ll try to give a spirited response as best I can on the excitement of the projects in the Member’s riding.

The Member is aware that we worked quite hard to include a number of projects that have been highlighted by himself and others in his riding to receive some attention in terms of offsetting some of the safety issues that were coming forward. There were a number of issues that needed to be addressed on Highway No. 7, including Nahanni Butte, where we had expected to have the official opening to be done this year. Unfortunately, the weather wouldn’t cooperate with us and we had to defer some of these initiatives that we had on the books. We expect to follow up over the next construction season and have the official opening for Nahanni Butte to be done next year and some of the projects that were deferred for Highway No. 7 also completed for next year.
