The government recognizes, as does the Member, the importance of bridges as we talk about the Mackenzie Valley Highway and our Roads to Resources and all these initiatives. When you calculate in all the money including the Deh Cho Bridge and all the dozens of other bridges we’ve put in up the valley over the last number of years, we’re going to be spending hundreds of millions of dollars on bridges. We recognize there’s going to be a need for more major crossings. A lot of the bridges are of a smaller nature. We recognize the Member’s concern about bridges up in his area. We agree we want to make use of the resources that are there to do the planning so that as we move north we are as prepared as possible and don’t want to lose time to do research that could be done ahead of time.
