I’ll just close off with a question here. A comment and a question, I guess. When we first started out with this type of discussion around the Deh Cho Bridge, we always want to look at two things: the best scenario and the worst scenario. I think today we are dealing with the worst scenario. That’s reality. That also takes a lot of courage and leadership and foresight to deal with this type of issue. But we are dealing with the worst scenario today. It’s right before us.
I want to ask the Ministers about dealing with the worse scenario and this bridge being completed, what if some poor guy, something that happened out of our control with the bridge, if the bridge is completed and something happens that people can’t cross it for a week or so. Are we having that type of discussion with your planners about emergency alternatives being considered? God forbid that doesn’t happen. We need to look at something like that in case of things like that popping up. I’ll just leave it at that. Forward thinking about what happens when the ferry is out and people get antsy and cranky up here because they don’t have the ferry and can’t get their fresh products and all that. For us in the Sahtu it’s normal, but over here it’s a little different. I want to just ask that question, because I’m thinking about the high cost of living up in our communities. I hope
this certainly brings our cost of living down in the Sahtu and further north.
