Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions this afternoon are for the real Minister of Transportation and they involve some more questioning, Mr. Speaker, on the status of the Deh Cho Bridge. Mr. Speaker, in his sessional statement a little while ago, the Premier did say that the federal government must step up to the plate and provide its share of the funding necessary for this important piece of the national highway system. Mr. Speaker, we have already filed with the federal government, I think about four years ago, a great plan, a very good plan, called Corridors for Canada, which outlined this bridge. We talked to Finance Canada, to Transportation, to Northern Affairs, to the Prime Minister. Mr. Speaker, we now know through the most recent federal budget that there is some $33 billion committed to Canada under the Canadian infrastructure initiative and $25 million for the next seven years to each province and territory in transportation money. My question is, Mr. Speaker, what course of action are we taking this time to get Ottawa's buy-in for the Deh Cho Bridge project, Mr. Speaker?
