Mr. Chairman, I appreciate the response that the Minister has given. Several years ago, when Eliza Lawrence was still the MLA, she pushed quite strongly for a bridge across Little Buffalo River and she did succeed in
getting it. The bridge was built in 1986 at a cost of between $900,000 and one million dollars and was officially opened. Eliza was very proud of that and she thanked the Minister, Mr. Wray, at that time.
One of the concerns that was expressed by Mr. Antoine was to see -- I know there is a delay in the bridge being constructed on Willowlake River. I realize that under this Transportation Strategy there is a high priority being put on the reconstruction of the roads between Enterprise and Yellowknife. I appreciate that a high priority has been given to that, but at the same time I would hope that where there is a need to do improvements the government would be open to delegating some of the construction dollars that go toward Highway No. 3, specifically, so that we might be able to help out other areas. I drive the road and I am satisfied that it is the best, for the present situation, and we could still live with it if you decide to move your target date to the year 2000. I am just suggesting that there are other areas where the conditions are worse and it would not hurt -- if there was a reduction in the construction of the roads between here and Providence, for example. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
