Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, when we put the program in place there was some form of criteria that we had to establish in order to arrive at priorities for each community. One of the obvious things that had to be taken into consideration, Mr. Speaker, was the availability of equipment to actually apply the chip seal; also, the availability of crush material. Therefore, we worked out a plan that would work in conjunction with the Department of Transportation to see when their equipment would be used in relation to a community. We would hopefully take advantage of that and have them apply chip seal in those communities that were in that region. That's how we hoped to take advantage of or make best use. One million dollars is all we have for the project per year. Hopefully some communities, in particular those that are on the highway system, would be seen as having chip seal in place in the next few years. Thank you.
