The Member and I probably saw about 60 trucks heading north, just on the Saturday alone, driving from Norman Wells to Wrigley. We need to continue working with industry. This past winter season we’ve had an investment of $1.2 million, through partnerships with industry, for enhancements on the winter road. Next season we anticipate that work going a little bit further north towards Fort Good Hope. Our anticipation is that industry will want to continue to work with the Government of the Northwest Territories on ways to enhance the winter road. That includes applying water to the road to build up the base so it lasts longer and is more durable. All indications are that industry will want to continue to be our partner in this effort in advance of us having an all-weather road down the Mackenzie Valley.
