Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I do not mean to be rude and I want to make it clear that I support any way to find money to improve our roads but, Mr. Speaker, I do not think I have heard anything from what the Minister has said that would require a consultant.

Mr. Speaker, I could tell him that changing this thing to a weight configuration will not help the situation. From what I understand, the department will have to build weigh scales all over the North at a cost of $1 million to facilitate this. He does not need a consultant to tell him that the sunset clause may be a viable option but that is only if people could accept the option. He does not need a consultant to tell him this road needs work. Mr. Speaker, I do not understand why he needs a consultant.

Perhaps what he should do is talk to the Finance Minister and Cabinet about prioritizing. Would the Minister not agree with that, Mr. Speaker?
