Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, seeing as we are asking questions of the Minister of Transportation, I do not want to get caught not saying anything. We have a situation in Hay River, as well, that is directly related to the Minister of Transportation.

As the Minister knows, we are putting a new bridge in Hay River. The department has made plans as far as handling traffic during the construction of the bridge. Could the Minister confirm that consultation has been done with the people involved in the Hay River area, and that the plans for the upcoming break-up in the spring have been designed to accommodate one lane traffic over the railroad bridge? Does he know how long that will be for? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
