Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The fencing that Members will see is to protect assets first and foremost. We have put a number of fences in and we will have to continue to look at ways to ensure that our assets are protected and not left to be vandalized and potentially damaged. That’s why you see the expenditure for fencing.

On the extended parks season, I know the Member and I and other Members have had discussions about the possibility of extending the season, especially in the southern part of the Northwest Territories where we are seeing the milder weather into the end of September. This is something that I

think we’ll have to continue to have a look at how this can happen. There are some problems when freezing temperatures happen and the impact on our equipment like shower facilities, washroom facilities, and things of that nature. We have to take a look at this, and if there is a way to ensure that we can keep parks open longer, I think that’s something that going forward the department will certainly be looking at it.
