Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Kam Lake bypass road, or the access to the west side of the airport, is something that is fairly important to us. It is also an issue of importance to the city. We have been working on this whole initiative for some time now. I think we have made significant development in that area. We have developed a design for that road. We have also been able to narrow the cost of that road. We anticipate that road is going to be somewhere in the $4.5 million mark. We are working towards putting in our needs assessment. Right now, we have committed to paying for a portion of that road that goes and leads to the access where we would get on to the airport side, or the airport reserve lands. We have not included it in our national submissions. This is a municipal road, still. It is not a road of national importance, or of strategic importance, for the Government of Canada, so it doesn't really qualify for that criteria. Having said that, it is still an important road. We recognize the importance, in terms of safety and other issues, around this road, and we continue to move forward and work on the development of this project.
