Thank you, Madam Chairperson. Madam Chairperson, I agree with the Member on the fact that we cannot place a higher priority on one highway versus the other as far as operations and maintenance and maintaining those highways to standards. The policy of this department right now is to address operations and maintenance on all highways that we have at this point in time and hold them up to safety standards. Although we are concentrating right now on Highway 3, that does not necessarily mean that we are going to ignore other highways in order to fast track Highway 3. All highways will have to be maintained to safety standards. If there is deterioration of the highways, well then we are going to have to address those as well. Perhaps I will let Mr. Vician, my deputy, expand on that a little bit.
