The Minister is correct that the department has shifted some of its focus onto the safety of the passengers in the Sahtu region on the winter road and they certainly appreciate the winter road improvements. I would ask the Minister if he would be open to having his staff talk to some of the local contractors in terms of some of the areas that they could certainly improve on, realignment, grade improvement, there are certainly discussions. We have driven the road, we know the road and certainly the department has some of the expertise

to put to use, so I wonder if we could work in collaboration as to which areas we feel needs to be improved by widening, realigning, cutting down some of the grades and use some of our expertise, traditional knowledge as to what part of the season is the best to do this work. Sometimes it is best to do it in the winter and sometimes it is more advantageous to do this in the summertime, so if we could have that kind of open discussion. Thank you.
