I appreciate the Minister’s commitment there. The reason I have come to ask those sorts of questions is, in dealing with the Giant Mine remediation project, we found out that the engineers were very out of date in the rate of change, and that’s why I mess about in those kinds of details. But I could just share with the Minister that my understanding is probably out of date. We know that things are changing to a greater degree than scientists have predicted, being a conservative bunch, but we’re talking for that 50-year period in the degree of 10 to 20 degrees of warming during the winter period. I couldn’t tell you the precip myself. It’s relatively low precip to start with. So it doesn’t take much of a change to be a big change, obviously, in that sort of situation.
So I’ll leave it at that. My concern is that we are giving up a lot of other options and priorities in exchange for new projects, and I do detect a deteriorating condition of our existing highway
system, and I know the Minister and deputy minister have clearly stated that that’s a first priority is maintenance of our existing system. Thanks for that opportunity.
