Statements in Debates
Thank you, Minister Wawzonek. The Member from Yellowknife North.
Thank you, Member from Frame Lake. Minister Wawzonek.
Thank you. Member for Inuvik Boot Lake.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And thanks for the final supplementary. I feel very assured here. The winter before, it took our department and traffic to go five hours for 90 miles, 90 kilometers. So you can do the calculations on the speed limit. Last year was excellent.
My last question there, Mr. Speaker, is this industry is challenged by a shortage of drivers, particularly experienced winter road drivers. What act of measures or efforts the Department of Infrastructure is doing to support that industry? Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Heffernan. To you there, Member from Yellowknife North.
Thank you, Minister. Deputy minister McKay.
Thank you to the Member Great Slave. Any further questions from committee? Seeing none.
Department of Justice, court services, infrastructure investment, $600,000. Does committee agree?
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And thanks to the Minister for that reply. In addition to my statement of cargo and fuel and essential services going into the Sahtu, we've got another developer that's going to be coming there to the Sahtu to do some activity around the Colville Lake area. I'm not too sure if the Minister's aware of that, but that'll be additional traffic.
My next question: Will the Minister confirm this preseason/prejob meeting, if that can be held in Norman Wells? This will give us -- I plan to attend -- and other opportunities for other engagements. Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you to the Member of Yellowknife North. Minister Wawzonek.
Thank you, Minister. Mr. Morse.
