Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just following up on Mr. Yakeleya’s discussions, I know in the Yukon there are corridors along the highway. There are certain times of the year you can’t even put a snowmobile on the tundra unless you have six inches of snow, to enforce that regulation. I find it interesting that we can’t do it here but they have regulations in the Yukon which are pretty forceful with regard to four-wheelers and snowmobiles, that you have to have a certain amount of snow before you can actually drive off a highway and whatnot. Maybe that’s something that can be looked at with regard to how they’re able to accomplish that in the Yukon. We can’t do it here and where the damage seems to be is just across the border on our side of the border versus the Yukon side. Maybe we could work in conjunction with our Yukon colleagues to see how exactly they’re able to do that over there.
I have to agree with the Minister that we definitely need a petty trespassing legislation of some sort so that we are able to make people accountable when they damage property and the land. Because we live in a sensitive environment, we have to ensure that we don’t allow people to just roam wherever, destroying the permafrost and whatnot and not be accountable for it. Maybe I’d suggest that we do look at what they’ve done in the Yukon, because I know the Dempster Highway corridor has been there for some time and they do have some pretty tough regulations on what you can and cannot do in
that corridor. Maybe that’s something the Minister of Environment and his colleagues in the Yukon can maybe give us some suggestions on how they were able to do it there so we can look at doing something similar on the CANOL Trail.
