Mr. Chairman, it is very hard to challenge the Member’s comments. There is a liability issue on any of our crossings. It has to be recognized that there is a contribution to the effects of greenhouse gases. Operating these vessels consume a lot of fuel. We have looked at and considered all the bridges within our road system and have looked at trying to be creative and find ways to construct bridges or replace the ferry systems with bridges.

The Deh Cho Bridge Project is a project that was viable because of the traffic volumes and, more specifically, the traffic volumes to the mines. We don’t have that in other areas of the Territory. That may change in the future. We are always looking for opportunity and looking for federal investment and we continue to raise those issues. We will continue to push those forward.

The Peel River, as the Member has indicated, had concerns raised by the community, by a lot of his constituents that do use that area for traditional harvesting of fish and we have had some discussion with the Member and the leadership of his communities to see if we can find a way to offset the amount of gravel that is used to firm up the approaches. We agreed to do that. We are going to be applying to the water board for a new water licence this year, so I don’t think...We have already been put on notice that we need to do a better job. We have already agreed. We have engaged the assistance of an engineer to design something that would work on the Peel that would allow the vehicles to have a firm approach so that we don’t have to use as much gravel or we don’t have to use any gravel in terms of firming up the approach. It is my understanding that we are getting there.

My department has already looked at some sketches that would have a design of some combination of steel and concrete that could be moved as the water levels fluctuate, and I am quite confident that we will have something that we can bring to the community and share that information with them so that we will remove at least that part of the concern. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
