Thank you, Madam Chairperson. Madam Chairperson, this motion comes pretty fast out of the blue and I will not be supporting this motion because, I mean, I would need a lot more information on what the condition of that particular highway is. I think it is pretty evident from the discussions we have had here between the Minister and Mr. Krutko that there seems to be a difference of opinion as to the quality of the highway. More than that, Madam Chairperson, I accept that there are professional people within the department who are able to assess the standards and qualities of the highway and also, I mean there are many factors and I think the Minister had eluded to that. There are many factors taken into consideration when the department lays out its plans, so just to vote in favour of this at this time without that additional information, to me, would not be acceptable. Thank you, Madam Chairperson.
