Mr. Chairman, these were not put into the business planning process for the same reason I mentioned before. Development is happening very quickly up the Mackenzie Valley. We want to be ready to respond to it. We want to spend the money where it is needed. When we prepare business plans for the current year, and that goes back a year ago, we did not know whether or not the development was really going to happen. We did not have the agreement with the Minister of DIAND for $3 million plus for bridges and so on. All of that came after.

To put it off and not do it this summer would mean having to put it off for another year. I think we do not want to slow down the opportunity for people to benefit from the development that is happening. We feel it is a worthwhile expenditure and, unfortunately, it does not fit within the budgeting cycle, but I think it is worth it to do it now. Let us get the benefit from the development. Thank you.
