Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions today are for the Minister of Transportation in regard to his Minister’s statement that he made earlier today. It just goes to show that prevention, promotion and education works, and that he’s doing a great job with the Department of Transportation. It’s something that all departments should look into doing, to cut down on the costs in the Northwest Territories.

With the programs that he mentioned, we have a lot of communities up and down the Mackenzie River and I just wanted to ask the Minister of Transportation, has he or his department done any work on doing a lifejacket borrowing program between the communities that sit on the Mackenzie River, seeing as a lot of people do travel that river as a mode of transportation. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
