Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I believe the clarification as to the community access road program answers some of the questions the Member raised. However, in reference to why we have now included the road to Colville under a winter road program is for a number of reasons. The first is the activity in the oil and gas sector in that particular area is warranting a road into Colville Lake. Furthermore, the community itself has requested a road into Colville Lake on a yearly basis. Following that, there was some indication from the oil and gas sector that they would be prepared to share some of these costs. Based on these three things, the department received direction to put in a winter road on an annual basis into Colville Lake.
