Madam Chair, I can speak on behalf of I know the people of Range Lake, and I’m sure Yellowknife in general and probably every resident in the Northwest Territories, that this is by far probably one of the biggest frustrations that any one of us deal with on a regular basis. Those of us who have to travel by road know only too well the frustrations that we have out there. We are very cognizant that the department only has so many dollars in their tool chest and their coffers, but I think a strategy would serve well, knowing in terms of priority, in terms of planning, especially those communities that are waiting patiently to find out if their road is going to be touched.
The question I have is in the interim, we are probably talking about a strategy that is imminent, but we have a lot of issues involving road surfacing, a lot of roads that require that type of update and options. Can the department indicate to us is there a plan of action to deal with a lot of the road
surfacing hurdles in the short order for roads in the NWT?
