Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This infrastructure funding we are receiving is because of resource pressure, development, the argument we made to the federal government, and they agreed it was impacting us and provided funding in which to better accommodate our roads, in particular our Mackenzie Valley highway system. One of the best strategic ways to do it was to develop bridges and that's what we continue to do. It's not just for that one particular project, Mr. Chairman.
The bridge program connects our northern communities in order to reduce our costs of living. That's one of our biggest strategies that we do have. Unfortunately, we are doing these bridges because we are now able to lengthen the amount of days that we have access to our remote communities, and the pressures of climate change is a
reality and it just works out really well that we are able to provide this infrastructure and drive some of our cost of living pressures down in our remote communities, Mr. Chair. Thank you.
