Mr. Speaker, speaking as the acting Minister of Transportation, when I asked the department what could be done with regard to chip sealing that portion of the highway that is now gravel, the suggestion was made to have a meeting with the community to discuss what they would like done, and for the community to spend less money on the dust control and put that money towards chip seal. That was the first part of the question, Mr. Speaker. The second part of the question was about taking funds away from the repaving of the other portion of the highway. I am advised by the department that that is not advisable as the highway requires that to maintain its strength over a long period of time. I am not sure if there is an option of moving funds from the repaving over to the gravel section, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
