Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I know some of my colleagues are saying build a bridge. Well, build a bridge; we haven't seen a business case, we haven't seen the numbers, and I'd like to know how we can build a $130 million bridge with our eyes closed, Mr. Speaker, and to me that's what we're doing, we're building it with our eyes closed. We haven't seen a business plan; we haven't seen the numbers; the feds aren't coming up with any money, but yet we're going to move ahead and enter into agreements. Mr. Speaker, something about that just doesn't sit right with me. Sure, I want a bridge, like anybody else wants a bridge, but I want to know how the heck we're going to pay for it over the next 35 years and that has to be clearly spelled out. The stakeholders in the North Slave region have to be consulted. I'd like to ask the Premier if the stakeholders, and I'm talking about the business community here in the North Slave, when are they going to be consulted about the possible increase to the tolls that trucks are going to have to pay crossing that bridge? Mahsi.
