Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I've said, there's four test sections on this highway; most of it's related to degradation of permafrost. Also, as the Minister responsible for Climate Change this is a serious problem that we're going to be facing and we are facing right across the Northwest Territories. It's a challenge. As any government moving forward, us as the 18thAssembly, 19thand 20thAssembly are going to be facing if climate change isn't brought under control, so it's something that the Assembly as a whole is going to have to work towards. It's going to cost a lot of money for mitigation and adaption in this area and we are spending the appropriate amount of money to try to keep this section of highway in a safe and effective manner. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
