Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Just with respect to the highway into Trout Lake; recently they put in a request to get the road, I think it was straightened out a bit, and I noted that the department does have some plans this month or, actually, in March. But is it actually a capital expenditure to upgrade that road to make it straighter, straighten it out, take out some of the 90 degree corners and make it a safer road that way, Madam Chair? Thank you.

Madam Chair, we are planning to do some work on the Trout Lake road; some minor realignment on that piece of road. The money we are planning to use on that road would come from O and M, rather than capital. We are also talking with the proponent of the pipeline regarding this stretch of road, to see if we can have them invest some dollars in the realignment and upgrading of this winter road.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Just with respect to the public highway access road to Jean Marie, the $75,000 in the next three years. Can the Minister kind of detail exactly what that is earmarked for?

Madam Chair, if you can just give us a minute, we have to find that information.
Madam Chair, the amount of money that's allocated or earmarked for the Jean Marie road is to do some grade improvement and also some drainage work on that road.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. I'd like to thank the Minister for that. With respect to pullouts or lookout towers, is it a capital expenditure? On the way to Wrigley there's a nice area where you get a nice view of the mountains, but if you're able to make a lookout tower above the treeline, which is another 20 feet higher, that would be a nice tourist view. Does the department have any plans for that, or would it fit under their pullout program that's listed here, Madam Chair?

Madam Chair, our pullouts are designed for safety reasons. Towers and tourist attraction facilities for tourists would have to fall under a different Minister, the Minister of RWED.
