Mr. Chairman, as I have said yesterday, and I will repeat myself again, I feel the department is doing whatever is necessary to maintain the highways with the crews that we have. The crews are, in fact, maintaining the sections they have been assigned to. I stand behind the department that we are maintaining the highways. As a matter of fact, I am getting to the point where I will be happy to supply the Member exactly where the graders were on a certain time and a certain date, whether or not they were, in fact, maintaining the highways. Whether in fact the plow truck was running.

But to further respond to the Member's concerns as to whether or not we could contract out to municipalities, I will refer that to the department as to what our policy is on that. Thank you.
