Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm not sure what the Member is asking for by speeding up the projects. Right now we have budgeted a total of $9 million for Highway No. 1 to reconstruct and firm up the base and develop the engineering work that needs to be done in that area, including drainage. We've also budgeted a total of $11.5 million for Highway No. 7 from the B.C. border to Fort Liard. That work is to start this year. We budgeted multi-year funding to do work on both those roads, so I'm not totally clear on what the Member is asking. If he's asking us to put more money into earlier years, I might need some clarity on that request.
