Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As we finish this session, I’d like to wish you and my colleagues a good summer break. I know we’re continuing to do a bunch of work. I know some of those programs in both EDI committees are out on the road.
As we look forward to the summer, I know that Northerners will be out on the land. I just want to urge them to be safe out there. I know over the last three or four years we’ve had eight fatalities on the highways; we’ve had 13 fatalities on the water. So we need people to make sure that they’re being careful out there, making sure they’re protecting each other.
We need to also ensure that we don’t drink and drive. We need to eliminate drinking and driving and make sure that if you’re drinking, not to be driving. Let’s be safe out there this summer.
Obviously, we know of our fire situation. We need to make sure that everybody takes precautions in the fire area. We need to make sure that campfires are out and make sure that there’s no smoking in very tinder dry areas. We just need to make sure we’re really safe out there. Thanks.
Thank you, Mr. Bouchard. Member for Yellowknife Centre, Mr. Hawkins.
