Thank you, Mr. Ramsay. Minister McLeod.

I believe we did respond on the 11th of February. There was a regulatory need for that. I assume there are other regulatory dates that are scheduled and that we would have to respond by. Perhaps there isn’t, but I would appreciate a commitment again from the Premier that he will find that out and let the House know. Obviously that’s not confidential.

Just my last point here. I appreciate the research that is being done on highways by the department, especially in relation to the increased rate of loss and unusual patterns in permafrost. I think the Dettah Road is certainly a good example of the sorts of challenges we have and I just would hope that the department would consider that if they get into a larger pilot case or pilot program testing Easy Street material, for example. The Dettah Road of course is very easy to access from Yellowknife. It’s a big challenge right at our doorstep and would be a real reasonable case for applying that...

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. Mr. McLeod.

Thank you, Mr. Neudorf. Mr. Menicoche.

Thank you, Mr. Krutko, Minister McLeod.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’d like to ask the Premier whether or not we are planning a response to the Joint Review Panel recommendations as the Government of the Northwest Territories and when is the next time we will be submitting any response to the JRP report to any regulatory body?

Just perhaps one question, and I appreciate the Minister’s comments there. My constituents have raised interest in a biking and walking trail along the Ingraham Trail. We’ve been talking about that for a couple of years and I’m wondering where we’re at with that, if the department has that process laid out where we can go forward with that. Thank you.

Just in follow-up to that, is there a planned expenditure with ITI next year, then? When does ITI start spending some money on, I presume it would be ITI working with the private enterprise and so on getting the uptake? Thank you.
