Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I will be voting against this motion and I hope government has heard. Well, I can only speak for myself that I continue to be cautious and concerned as we proceed forward with the, people keep saying the project, and the government keeps assuring us that we’re taking baby steps, and that’s just what I’d like to see.
I do want to see the project description. I do want to see the total cost estimate. I’m concerned that the federal government maybe will maintain that their
only contribution will be the $150 million. However, we have to show them the amount of work that would be involved, and we all know that the cost for the project will be very expensive only because of the amount of the terrain. But we have to do that project description report and the environmental assessment has to be done.
I believe that most of the work can be done this winter and next year as well. I’m kind of doubtful that we would be breaking ground and building a road next fall, but at the same time, I do want to see how much this project will really cost. I’m in favour of the money staying in the supplementary estimate request, so I’ll be voting against this motion. Thank you.
