Mr. Speaker, I would like to pose a question to the acting Minister of Transportation. During the capital budget process this Assembly approved $2.8 million for pavement overlay on Highway No. 5 and I proposed a motion, at that time, that the department consider using this fund to pave or chip seal portions of that highway that are presently gravel only. In my opinion, Mr. Speaker, and the opinion of most of my constituents, improving the gravel part of Highway No. 5 should be one of the priorities of the government and the Department of Transportation. Would the acting Minister be able to tell me if he is willing to instruct the Department of Transportation, or give serious recommendation to the new Minister, to instruct the staff of the department to look at re-allocating funds for this particular purpose? Thank you.
