Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, a number of highways require surface overlay, and the department has been attempting to respond as best they can. We have to realize that we are working with a limited budget. We were fortunate this year to receive approval for some funding from the federal government. We have two revenue sources: a partnership arrangement with the federal government, and also through our corporate capital planning system. Highways 5 and 6 were submitted under the corporate capital planning system this year. They were assessed and did not receive any funding. I am not in a position to force the review committee to decide what projects are going to be brought forward or not. What we can do is resubmit them again next year. The capital planning process allows for review every year, and we will certainly submit it on the community's behalf. Thank you.
