Mr. Chairman, I think the Member is voicing the same concerns that were expressed by other Members, and that is the security of our future tolls. All that I can do, Mr. Chairman, is respond to what figures we had for 1999. For instance, we had roughly 4,000 trucks going down to the mines and BHP, Echo Bay, Diavik, Snap Lake were the ones in operation at that time. As the Member has stated, some of them were in the exploration stage rather than the production stage, and it is true.

However, production requires more truck traffic than exploration and this is the case, in particular, while they are setting up. This year, we are talking anywhere between 7,500 to 8,000 truckloads. That is double what we had in 1999. So we feel these are very conservative figures.

If the traffic volume of 1999 is going to produce $15 million a year, the traffic volume this year will produce double that without having any of that really reflected on the local residents because their traffic did not increase. So this is one other way of looking at it. The more truck traffic there is, the quicker we reach our $100 million cost mark and the quicker the debt will be wiped out. That is the way I look at it anyway.
