Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The money here is, as the Minister mentioned, the last year of our Building Canada Plan funding. We do hope that in future capital plans we will be able to identify additional funding. The highway is experiencing some effects of melting of some of the permafrost that’s underneath it. We are seeing quite a few heaves, and we have to stay diligent to rehabilitate that surface. This funding will be used to rehabilitate those sections that are in the most need. In the springtime our engineers will go out and do an assessment and decide where those areas are and then issue contracts to have that work undertaken. Going forward in subsequent years, additional funding will be required and we would hope that some additional GNWT funding or a potential renewal of the Building Canada Plan funding from the federal government will provide that opportunity.
