Mr. Chairman, the Member raises a very good point. That has been a huge challenge for our department. Given the lifecycle of our many roads coming to mid-life, requirement of upgrades and given our deficit situation over the last while, we have seen some deficiencies occur as some of what should have been another layer of gravel placed on top so the quartz will come through. It causes some concern, along with climate change, of course.

Mr. Chairman, our staff is using new designs and new systems to build the roads. We are incorporating more geotech, more ways to prevent the permafrost from melting. We are building the roads wider, providing wider shoulders and things of that nature to ensure that our roads are not slumping or not causing concern. Thank you.
