Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As a Minister, I have committed to that already in the House, but I can reaffirm that at this point. Just for the information of the Members, Mr. Chairman, what we see to complete Highway No. 3 reconstruction, is a $66 million figure out of the $249 million. We suggested to the feds that we would cost-share that with them at $33 million apiece, and we would consider that our share of the $600 million highway infrastructure money. It works out to 5.5 percent, that we would be getting out of the $600 million. In my recent meeting with Minister David Collenette, he gave me strong suggestions that the formula may not be necessarily based on per capita per kilometre, but rather on needs.
Because our highways are the only highways left out of the national highway system that is in need of hard top, we definitely qualify in the need category. He also suggested that he will be working towards putting another $1.2 billion in that program. By the time it comes into play, there might be $1.8 billion in that National Highway Infrastructure Program. Our percentage of that may, in fact, be what we need to complete Highway No. 3. Thank you.
