Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise here today to congratulate the Minister of Transportation on his Alcohol Ignition Interlock Program. I have some questions around this program. In just doing a quick search on the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety, which is a Canadian site, it cites some of the workplaces that should look at and help those who are definitely dealing with a substance issue. As the Minister cited, it is an effort to make our roads safer. Has the department looked at actually installing these devices in some of our own Department of Transportation vehicles?
Thank you, Mr. Dolynny. The Minister of Transportation, Mr. Ramsay.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’ve had that very discussion with our staff and, yes, we have given that some consideration.
I’m encouraged by what I’m hearing here today. Can the Minister elaborate if there’s going to be a test pilot of this program in the near future?
The program will start being piloted in Yellowknife and in Hay River.
Thank you, Mr. Ramsay. The Member for the Sahtu, Mr. Yakeleya.
