Madam Chair, the other thing that I wanted to stress the need for is I realize it is the last year that we are putting funds into the Dempster Highway. There is still a lot of work that needs to be done to the highway and possible realignment of the gorge. I believe it is Kilometre 30 or so, but there has been a lot of shifting in the road due to climate change, and possibly the safest thing to do is just realign the highway up in that section.
Comparing the different highways I have driven over the number of years, I noticed a lot of attention
is being put in the highways down in the southern part of the territory due to a lot of bison and whatnot. Up in our region, there is a lot of moose, too, yet we have willows that are almost covering the highway. It is getting that bad. Sometimes you don’t know whether you see a moose or just willows. It is a safety concern. I am hopeful that the department would address that this coming summer. Thank you.
