Thank you, Mr. Speaker. A particular issue I’ve been raising for a number of years, as well as my colleague Ms. Bisaro, is the distracted driving legislation, and it is of significant concern to a number of other MLAs in this House.
Mr. Speaker, recently at one of my constituency meetings people were wondering if the government will be moving forward on this type of initiative, especially recognizing the amount of time left in this particular Assembly and knowing full well that if legislation isn’t introduced in this sitting it won’t be considered under this government, under the 16th Assembly, and of course, this will be a decision for the 17th at that rate.
Mr. Speaker, my question would be to the Minister of Transportation. Does he see his department moving on any type of distracted driving legislation coming forward within the remainder of this particular session that ends by next Thursday? Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. The honourable Minister responsible for Transportation, Mr. Michael McLeod.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The answer is yes. We are bringing legislation forward for introduction during this session.
Thank you, Mr. McLeod. The honourable Member for Sahtu, Mr. Yakeleya.
