Thank you, Mr. Chair. We do not have any capital allocated to a project like that because we do not even know what the plan is yet, moving forward. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

As I said, we do probably one third of the complete system annually, on an annual basis. This improves sight lines, but also improves drainage along the whole system. I know Highway No. 1 on that particular section of highway going to Wrigley; most of it was mowed this year, so if the Member can actually sit down with me and give me some specifics on sight lines of concern, I can certainly have the department look into it. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. We are constantly re-evaluating the use of all our parks within the Northwest Territories and we will continue to do so, so the short answer to her question is we are continually evaluating them and looking at how we are going to expand the use of the areas that are maximized. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. When we do our 20-year analysis on what we need going forward, we usually over-prioritize. When it comes to allocation of money, we have to prioritize what we are doing. That is what has happened on an annual basis. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you for bringing that to my attention. We will have the department have a look at this thing and make sure it is meeting the Transportation Association of Canada signage standards, because there is a set of standards that are laid out there for placement of signs, and we will make sure that this is reflected on where they are posted on the highway.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. With the rise in numbers that is occurring right now, the Member is accurate. A number of these people are flying in here, but the rubber traffic is also increasing, not just locally, which is a large uptick on it, but we are looking at additional loops possibly in the North Slave. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I will have to get back to the department and get that information for the Member. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Mr. Speaker, infrastructure investments help connect residents to essential services, lower the cost of living, increase our resiliency to the impacts of climate change, and support economic development. Today, I want to provide Members an update on priority infrastructure projects being pursued by the Government of the Northwest Territories.

Mr. Speaker, in 2017 the Government of Canada announced its Investing in Canada Plan, which includes over $180 billion in infrastructure investments over 12 years. The Government of the Northwest Territories continues to work with our federal counterparts...

Yes, I would, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I do not believe there will be an exchange of money, but I can look into the details and get back to the Member on that. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
