Mr. Speaker, the costs are going up every day as we have this discussion. From 50 years ago, this bridge was deemed at $6 million for the Northwest Territories. It cost too much. And today, here, we’re talking about over $160 million.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to work with the Members here in terms of the price, in terms of the cost of

living. I would like to work further with the department in terms of working with other departments, other agencies, other organizations, in terms of showing that the cost of living is going to come down. The Member’s pointed out that the price of fuel is going up, is increasing on a weekly basis. That’s the high cost of doing business here.

However, Mr. Speaker, I would be happy to work with the Members here and to work with my department to see if some of the latest reports in terms of indications show that once the bridge is built, the cost of living would be going down.
