Masi, Mr. Speaker. Behchoko and Yellowknife, few communities in the Northwest Territories are more closely linked than Behchoko and Yellowknife. This shows the flow of vehicles between them. Daily, hundreds of cars and trucks make the hour journey in both directions. At any given time, the number of travellers can exceed the entire population of the Hamlet of Fort Liard. Yet in this interconnected age, Mr. Speaker, when those drivers leave their municipalities, the boundaries, they are on their own. There is no cellphone coverage in that area between Behchoko junction and Yellowknife. In the event of an emergency, an accident, or a breakdown, which we have seen in the past, or a death from community members, there is no way of calling for help. Mr. Speaker, we are talking about one of the busiest, most accident-prone roads in the territory.

There are communication towers throughout Highway No. 3 corridor, yet ironically, no cell coverage. The phone company simply cannot be bothered. Mr. Speaker, I would like to find out what either the Minister of Infrastructure or Finance can do about this intolerable situation. Mr. Speaker, I have questions for the appropriate department at a later time. Masi, Mr. Speaker.
