Masi, Mr. Speaker. Yesterday, I spoke about the lack of cell service coverage between Ray Junction and Yellowknife. Today, I'm going to speak about the maintenance camp along the highway. Mr. Speaker, our government's highway maintenance workers are some of the most critical public servants in the territory. Without them, the travel in the Northwest Territories will grind to a halt, and where would we be, Mr. Speaker? In the face of the COVID-19 crisis, I want to thank all the maintenance workers for their dedication to their duty. They are the unsung heroes of the supply chain that keeps our territory operating through good times and bad times. In light of their importance in the territory, I find it ironic that our highway maintenance workers are so badly disrespected by the government. I refer to Edzo highway camp, which is understaffed and ill-equipped that it's a wonder our workers don't go on strike. I will have questions for the appropriate Minister later on today. Masi, Mr. Speaker.
