Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, at this time of year, as Mr. Lafferty points out, it is very difficult to do maintenance work and keep up with the problems we have on our roads as the frost comes out and soft spots develop and wash board and so on.
Right now, we are using all of the resources that we have in this area as efficiently as we can. They work some days primarily on Highway No. 3 and some days on other areas, but we are using the full resources we have. There are none that are sitting idle for no reason.
I will check with the department. If there are other areas where we could move equipment or people into this area, then on a temporary basis, we will do that. I know the roads are in bad condition, both Highway No. 3 and Highway No. 4, and it is the same with parts of Highway No. 1. It seems to be a problem everywhere.
I am not optimistic we have resources we can reallocate to this region. Thank you.
