Mr. Speaker, we expect that the environmental assessment is probably going to take until this fall to complete. I expect that while we could see some preliminary work being done on, for example stockpiling gravel and so on, that could start earlier. I haven't talked to the bridge corporation on their plans. If it looks good, we will see working on this certainly this winter.
Mr. Speaker, I just want to clarify that the only major thing that's holding up the progress right now and delaying the bridge for a while is the environmental assessment. But we are still in the midst of finalizing the financing, for example, for the total project, but I think there are no hurdles on that now that we have the $3 million from the federal government. There are issues around insurance and, of course, still finishing up the final design and reviewing the design. There are things that we're doing right now, but none of them are holding up the progress. The only one that's slowing us down at this point is the environmental assessment, but I'm optimistic we'll see work this fall. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
