Thank you, Madam Chair. My first question has to do with the upgrades to the sand and salt storage facilities. I understand that salt was declared a toxic substance for use on highways in 2002-2003, somewhere thereabout, so we need to store it responsibly. It seems like we’ve been very slow to move on that so I’m happy to see that we’re finally moving, but I’m also distressed that we are, in fact, continuing to use this toxic substance. There’s something that seems a bit odd to me that we would freely apply a toxic substance when we know the impacts that it is having on our environment. I’m wondering if the Minister can tell me if we’re moving away from the use of salt, and what are we doing to come up with a non-toxic replacement for the application towards whatever the issues are that meant to resolve.
