Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, has the Minister or his department looked at the possibility of what the savings to this government will be by implementing a calcium project? He mentioned the costs of Highway 4 and the costs of Highway 8. The costs to maintain Highway 8 is definitely going to be a higher cost because of where it is located, just above the arctic circle and basically it is one of the most northern highways in North America. Yet, Mr. Speaker, we have to realize that the cost of maintaining this road and the cost of gravel is very high to maintain this road. If we could bring down the cost of the gravel by improving the maintenance of that road, which means less blading, gravel, and dollars to put into that road system, there will be a savings to this government. Has this department considered looking at the savings to this government by putting forth a calcium project?
