Member’s Statement on Dempster Highway Delineators and Signage

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in the new year I had an opportunity to go hunting up in my riding, and while hunting in the Yukon side of the territory, on our way back traveling with some of my constituents we had whiteout conditions on the Northwest Territories side of the border. At that time, one of my constituents brought it to my attention that it's very difficult to see the delineators alongside the highway.

Many times in this House, I've commended the Department of Transportation with the widening efforts that's on the highway, but now we need to ensure that we put those delineators back in place. Also the signage that's on these highways, many of those signs are outdated, you know they been there for a number of years. It's time to change them up. I'll have some questions for the Minister later today. Thank you.
