Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I believe the Member brought the same topic up a few days ago in the House and I responded at that time that the department was considering increasing the amount of calcium that would be applied to Highway 8, the Dempster. I have had meetings with the department since then, and what the department has agreed to do is, we are hoping to sit down with the stakeholders of the Mackenzie Delta area, in particular users of the Dempster, and possibly get some recommendations from them as to what they would think about the possibility of the department reducing some of our capital expenditures on some of our existing projects and, in return, we would increase the amount of calcium. We would have to get some input and guidance from the users as to exactly where they would like to see the calcium applied. Hopefully, after the department has had this meeting, we could then make a decision as to where we would consider increasing the amount of calcium on Highway 8. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
