Mr. Speaker, the toll we have put in place is essentially a fee we are charging heavy trucks for the use of the road that they are travelling on. So we cannot take the money from that toll and use it for something else. We could not take it and use it to build a winter road or to build an extended road someplace else. We have to spend it on the area from which we take the revenue. Will it have an effect on the bridge, for example? If there is a proposal to build a bridge, it would certainly have to be taken into consideration because I think there is a limit to how much we can afford to increase tolls by. In terms of winter roads, we could put tolls on winter roads if they are our responsibility, but that would be a different program. Thank you.
