Mr. Chairman, the road was frozen. The surface of the road was frozen when the damage was done but it did not matter to the trucks with chains. They were digging in the ruts even though the road was frozen. Those ruts, over the winter, were filled with snow. They were not visible anymore until actually in the early summer when the road thawed out.

It was at that point in time that the hamlet realized that it would take more than just pulling in the shoulders to do repairs to that road. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
