Mr. Chairman, the challenges, of course, in both areas that he’s raised, first of all on the Oscar Creek Bridge, is we need to be comfortable that we have the alignment finalized and we need to be able to do that through the project description report work that’s going to be done. The Member is correct that it will take a while to get that done. With the Bear River Bridge, we certainly agree with the Member’s opinion on how things have developed. We feel it was a project that should have been considered as project ready. We have the design. We have the location. We’ve done all the legwork that needs to be done. Now we are in need of construction dollars and we’ll continue to move that forward. We’ve raised it on a number of occasions with the federal Ministers. We have yet to have any success in securing dollars for that project.
