MEMBER’S STATEMENT ON DEMPSTER HIGHWAY RECONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My constituents are very happy on upcoming work on the Dempster Highway this summer.

Last year we felt the impact of no construction on the Dempster Highway due to the end of the 10-year Building Canada Plan. This year we begin another 10 years of work on the Dempster and many other projects throughout the Northwest Territories.

I am concerned that this work has not been awarded at this time. From what I understand, we are awaiting the Treasury Board. It is very important we take advantage of the weather we get in June and July, as we usually get a lot of rain in August and September.

I will have questions for the Minister later today, Mr. Speaker.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Thank you, Mr. Blake. Member for Nahendeh, Mr. Menicoche.
