I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the comments of my colleague from Thebacha on the allocation for highway 8. In the briefing that we were presented on the status, condition, safety, widths, grades and dust of that highway were of major concern. I know it is a definite concern of people who drive that highway; truckers and visitors. I want to make a point that I feel a little more could be allocated to this highway. That's the motion we passed the other day. I hope the Minister will take that into consideration. I know there is a long-term plan for highway 8 and, of course, I would like to see that accelerated and fast-tracked. As long as it is a priority in the department.
