Has the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs or the Minister considered a formal policy to contract these services in the absence of any formal emergency action plan along this stretch of highway?

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Any questions? Ms. Bisaro.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, your committee has been considering Tabled Document 9-17(4), NWT Main Estimates, 2013-2014, and would like to report progress with three motions being adopted. Mr. Speaker, I move that the report of Committee of the Whole be concurred with. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Bouchard. We’re just going to distribute this motion, so just give us a second.

A motion is on the floor. To the motion. Mr. Bouchard.

Thank you, Mr. Beaulieu. Ms. DeLancey.

The Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs has commented, many times in this House, on the incomplete emergency action plans of the NWT communities. Can the Minister also indicate if all 33 communities have roadside emergency action plans in the event of a highway crash?
