Thank you, Madam Chair. There were a couple questions there. First of all, I think it should be clear that at this point we're not planning to pave Highway No. 1 or Highway No. 7. We were for some time hoping that we'd be able to include the reconstruction and paving of Highway No. 1 as part of our legacy requests. We hadn't planned to put any investment on Highway No. 1 until we knew for sure there was a pipeline and there were going to be industry dollars attached to it. However, as resource development has really started to happen in that area and the traffic volumes on Highway No. 1 have increased, we had to respond to some of the situations and some of the erosion on that road as a result of heavy traffic volumes. We did reallocate some money last year. We reallocated $1 million to improve the base and do some drainage work. We also did some engineering last year, and this year we plan to continue on that initiative to improve the base, continue to work on improving the drainage and the foundation of that road to build it up in some areas. We've targeted new monies for a multi-year program on Highway No. 1 and we've also done the same with Highway No. 7.
