Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the way we are proceeding is that every year we come forward and apply, through this committee, for winter road improvements. Once it gets approved, the plan is to eventually have permanent bridges or temporary bridges on a lot of the different river crossings, and eventually that would resolve the problem that we have. In this budget that we are trying to approve here, we have five of the creeks that we think are causing a lot of problems now. If we have these bridges, it will alleviate some of the problems that we have. But there are other creeks and other small rivers that we have to be concerned about and our plan is to come to this committee every year, until the year 2001/2002, with the same amount. Hopefully, by that time, we should have most of the creek problems dealt with. At the same time, we are working with Fisheries and Oceans to try to have a better and more co-operative working arrangement that helps in the overall development of the winter road. Maybe in five years time, hopefully something may happen that we eventually have a regular road going down the valley. That certainly would solve all kind of problems. Thank you.
