Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, further to my Member’s statement and questions earlier today, I wish to table two documents that relate to the disrepair and poor driving conditions on Highway No. 7, also known as the Liard Highway. The first document is a letter dated September 29, 2010, from the Western Arctic Member of Parliament, Mr. Dennis Bevington, to the Honourable Jim Prentice, federal Minister of Environment, seeking much needed assistance for making repairs to the highway.
The second document is a CBC Radio transcript dated June 29, 2010, in which Ms. Joanne Deneron of Fort Liard comments on the poor condition of the highway and the detrimental impacts experienced by small communities due to the highway’s state of disrepair. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
