Thank you, Madam Chair. We have an estimate. A lot of work has to be done in this area regarding the Bear River Bridge. Our estimate is currently at $25 million. Our current year funding is for pre-engineering and permitting. There is a real problem with the Bear River Bridge. We anticipate that with a bridge at the Bear River we would be able to add at least three weeks to our winter travel season in the Sahtu, and we would also alleviate some of the safety concerns in that area. We would project that this bridge would be used fairly heavily with the oil and gas industry and the potential pipeline and also the communities.
