Thank you, Madam Chair. With respect to the highway systems, the design, I expect that they've looked at all the highways in the Territories and have done some assessment and prioritized them as to which ones have to be looked at first? My concern is that Highway 1, from the border to Enterprise and also Highway 2, from Enterprise into Hay River, there hasn't really been any realignment or any widening in the last number of years. I know that because once in a while I ride my bicycle to the border. There is not much there for a shoulder. We have a number of trucks [microphone turned off] and we're lucky we haven't had any major accidents. A month or so ago, or a few weeks ago, they blocked off, for instance, the access to the Alexander Falls and parking area. People then were parking on the highway, which was a safety issue, and that got resolved fairly quickly. I guess I would like to know and I would like to see something done with those sections of the highway, because nothing has been done in a while and they are important to the big trucks heading into the mines and into Yellowknife. We have got to do something sooner than later on that. Thank you, Madam Chair.
