Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I don't know if we need a bridge, I don't know if the Deh Cho Bridge is a priority of northerners. I suggest that we have some more consultation to ascertain the answer to those questions and I'm not sure if we're not just jumping in because this Legislative Assembly is coming to a close. I don't know what the panic is all of a sudden on the bridge, but I want to say I do support the Deh Cho Bridge myself because it's good for Hay River and it's close enough to Hay River that there's going to be some economic activity for Hay River around the construction of this bridge. I'm looking forward to that and I'd like to see that pre-cast concrete forms or pieces that

they need to build for the deck, I'd like to see that plant located in Hay River. So we'll be lobbying for that.

So I am in agreement, in principle, with the idea of a bridge, but the questions raised in this motion are valid questions. When we started off, when we passed the Deh Cho Bridge Corporation Act, this was a $70 million project. Now it's a $150 million project and it's just good business, it's just good government, it just makes sense to reconfirm our business case and then all those good and valid arguments can be raised. If we wait, it's going to cost more and the inflation is going to drive the price up and we can just have that discussion and enter into this feeling very confidently that we're doing the right thing as opposed to just jumping in at the deep end just because this Assembly is coming to a close and we think that somehow the time is of the essence. I think we could just take time to answer those questions. The government can come back with the answers to those questions very, very quickly if they choose to. So this isn't necessarily something that would delay a decision either. So I would encourage the government to answer these questions and I support the motion. Thank you.
