Thank you, Mrs. Groenewegen. I have Mr. Hawkins next.

Thank you, Mr. Menicoche. I have Mr. Pokiak next.

Thank you, Mr. Braden. Mr. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Braden. Mr. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Can the Minister, if his department has this information, advise on what types of dangerous goods and the sizes of loads that are going through the streets of Yellowknife? I brought up the issue of public safety. Does his department have that type of information on the amount of dangerous goods traveling through the streets of Yellowknife? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Could I ask the Minister why the number of tickets issued have decreased when the amount of dangerous goods being transported on our road system has steadily increased? Why are tickets going down and dangerous goods going up? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I, too, on behalf of my family and the constituents of Kam Lake, wish to offer condolences to the fallen RCMP members who lost their lives near Mayerthorpe yesterday.

In 2003, the last year when statistics are available, the weigh scale in Enterprise saw 176 million litres of diesel oil and nearly 34 million kilograms of ammonium nitrate, which is a prime component in making explosives, go through. As you are aware, Mr. Speaker, the vast majority of these dangerous goods were either destined for Yellowknife or for the diamond mines further north.

At all hours of the day...

Thank you, Mr. Pokiak. I have Mrs. Groenewegen next.

Thank you, Mr. Braden. We have Mr. Zoe next.

Thank you very much, Mr. Yakeleya. I have Mrs. Groenewegen.
