Mr. Speaker, I was quite shocked and surprised to realize there were four reports that this government had in the House in regards to the proposed Peel River Bridge which was proposed when the Dempster Highway was being built back in 1968 and concluded in 1972. At the time that they built the bridge, it was prescribed back then, which was $6 million. Mr. Speaker, I was surprised to hear from the department that their estimates were $70 million. I was floored when I heard that so I looked a little further into it the possibility of at a cheaper price. I would like to ask the Minister, is he open to looking at a proposal that can come forward at a cheaper price than $70 million? I think, realistically, it can be done for $40 million.
