Statements in Debates
Thank you. Mr. Minister.
Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. Mr. Minister.
Thank you, Ms. Lee. Mr. Minister, any comment? Thank you. General comments on Bill 9 by Members? Mr. Braden.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to follow up with what the Member for Monfwi raised regarding policing services. It is appalling to hear that it takes over an average of 48 minutes to respond to calls in the Tlicho region. Mr. Speaker, it takes an hour-and-a-half to fly to Sachs Harbour from Inuvik. Maybe we should send two of the RCMP officers over to Sachs Harbour. I would like to ask the Minister of Justice, has there been any progress to date in regard to policing services in Sachs Harbour? Thank you.
Bill as a whole?
Thank you. Ms. Heder.
Thank you, Mr. Minister. Mr. Braden.
Thank you, Mr. Minister. Mr. Menicoche.
Thank you, Ms. Lee. Mr. Minister.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In my Member’s statement today I spoke of the need to connect Tuktoyaktuk to the Canadian national highway system.

Can the Minister of Transportation inform this Assembly and the people of the Northwest Territories what progress is being made on the construction of the all-weather road from Tuktoyaktuk to Inuvik? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
