Mr. Speaker, no one has ever presented that argument to us before so it's a new one. Mr. Speaker, I'd just like to remind the Member, as well, that the department did a lot of consultation as we prepared this schedule. This has gone through the standing committee. I know the governance and economic development committee did have public hearings in at least Fort Providence, Rae-Edzo and Yellowknife. I'm not sure what other communities that committee would have gone to. We had standing committee discussion on it. We passed the Deh Cho Bridge Act, so there has been a lot of consultation on it, but we now have legislation in place which lays out how the costs of the bridge will be covered through a toll mechanism. So I appreciate there may be other ways of doing it that we may want to look at in the future, but we did just pass legislation in June outlining this process. Thank you.
