Question 517-19(2): Incidents Involving Transport Trucks on Highway No. 3  I would be one of those frequent travellers on Highway No. 3 because I represent Behchoko and the communities, and obviously, I see a lot of semi tractor-trailers on the highway. Every time I am on the highway, there are big trucks on the highway. Speeding is the number one cause

Question 495-19(2): Language Services  Masi, Mr. Speaker. Yes, if the Minister can provide that detailed information, that will be very helpful.

Question 486-19(2): Power Outages in Whati  I believe urgency is a must here. The next five years, that is a long time waiting for the community of Whati.
