Mr. Speaker, there are probably a number of dollar figures floating out there that people have put together in terms of trying to estimate the cost of this piece of road. The $700 million estimate, I think, has come during the days of the 12th Assembly and it’s quite old and

aged. There are other estimates out there.

We, as a government, as a department, have undertaken to do a couple of things to improve the business case. We’re doing economic analysis of that piece of infrastructure. We’re also doing more baseline studies to give us a better idea of certain pricing. We’re also doing a scope of the whole project. There are areas that we have included in our budget.

As for doing a complete analysis of the whole road, I think we’d have to see if there was more of an interest from the federal government before we decided that we need to do more work and provide more investment. The resources we have at hand are already strained, so we’d have to see something that was fairly positive before we would undertake such a huge task. Thank you.
