Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the budget is $8 million plus for this year and the public tender has not gone out yet for the two sections, so we do not really know what kind of numbers is going to come in. That is what the department estimated the two sections would cost for this year's operation. Why the tender is going to be made later in the summer, I think it all has to do with the accessibility into that part of the country where you have rocks, lakes and swamps. To start blasting, I think we need to do it more in the fall or winter when the terrain is frozen, so that there is accessibility into that area. That is what my understanding of why later in the year rather than in the summer. Thank you.
