Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In regard to the suggestion of no need for consultants, well, the department will take that as a cost-saver. That is fine but I have another Member on the other side of the table here who is suggesting we do something like that. We have to take everything into consideration here and try to keep everybody happy.

As far as whether or not this proposed plan is going to result in more revenue, more capital for the department, as the Member has suggested, it is a recognized fact that capital for the department has been reduced almost on a yearly basis. This is true. We are just not keeping up with the impacts on our highways.
