Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is directed to the Minister responsible for Municipal and Community Affairs. In my May 1st letter to the Minister, I wrote that the public and I had some safety concerns about a single-lane bridge for Rae-Edzo. In deciding on a single-lane bridge, the departments involved looked at traffic volume and historical statistics.

A community project is different from a highway project. My question is, why was the Bay Island Bridge evaluated on highway criteria and not for a capital project in a community? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
