It was my understanding, Mr. Speaker, that the community had thought it could put a small bridge across this particular river or stream that people use to go hunting. It was the concern, and still is the concern, of the department that we have a safety responsibility in where we spend our money and how we construct bridges. We have to meet certain standards, and we are mandated to do that.
The department felt that what was being suggested by the municipality, while it was creative and was acknowledged as creative, would be a bridge that would not meet the basic safety standards required of the department when they install or finance bridges. It is not the intention, I want to stress to the honourable Member again, for us not to complete this project. There are discussions under way with the municipality, and I will work hard to try and seek some resolve and some strategy or plan into place as quickly as possible that will: one, get this access road in place and; two, place the priority on the installation of the bridge so the people have the ability and mobility to move about in that particular area. Thank you.
