Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I guess in either case I am on the record, so really it is a moot point. Let me try to rephrase and put it to him another way. We were talking about the imposition of tolls and fees and why they had come about, and trying to find some sort of rationale for this. The Minister, in speaking to speed up the programs, said before when we were looking at speeding up Highway No. 3 reconstruction from a ten to a three-year timeline, yes, we did not have the money. However, there were many other reasons too, such as northern companies did not have the capacity, southern equipment and labour would have to be used, training opportunities for Northerners would be missed. I think these kinds of things made us stop and take note and say maybe it is not such a great thing.
I always believed it was only ever about money. Now they seem to have figured out a way to charge us and raise some money. We are only talking here now about a one year difference in timelines. We have a four-year plan and now that the Minister is suggesting that we can say to these contractors this is an ongoing thing, so they are going to be able to ramp up and have the ability now to have the capacity.
The scenario on the Highway Strategy was a three-year plan. I do not see the difference between three and four years being about capacity. I think this is simply about money. Now that we have come up with a proposal to raise money, we are willing to look at this scenario. Is that not in fact the case?
