Similar question as my colleague from Nahendeh in regard to some sort of dust control. In the past we have had a program for main street dust control. Back in the 14th Assembly there

were a few communities that had been identified and I know I have raised this issue with the Minister. Also, what we’re finding is that the communities that did receive the dust control in regard to main street chipseal, but the life of that

chipseal is pretty well up now and a lot of them originate off the highway system in regard to Fort Liard using that, for instance, Fort McPherson where they’ve done main street chipseal. So I know I have approached the Minister and I’ve raised questions in the House to the Minister about the possibility of expanding that program to work in conjunction with the Department of Transportation, the community, and the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs to see about partnering on some arrangement to deal with that dust control in the different communities. So can the Minister tell me, is there any possibility of working with your department? I know you’ve made commitments in the House to look at this, but I’d just like to know what arrangements can be made in regard to that possibility.

Also, I know we did receive some dollars from Building Canada for research money to look at the whole area of permafrost. So is that something that we can possibly look at? I believe in the budget there’s various highway chipseal overlay programs. Is there a possibility of seeing some work done, or even to work in partnership with the communities, the Department of Transportation and the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs?
