Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There are challenges when you construct a highway through an area of discontinuous permafrost, and I think we’ve seen a bit of an exacerbation of the problems this summer because of the warm weather that we’ve had. Our crews are out there now trying to finalize the work program that we undertake every fall where we try to get as caught up as we can to fix the heaves and dips that we’re seeing in the road. Along with the capital, that’s what we use to rehabilitate the surface. We have done much engineering on the work. We’ve got some detailed engineering assessments of what’s happening so there’s a good understanding of the process that’s going on. Unfortunately, it will continue to take money to address those problems. We, along with other jurisdictions, are doing various test sections, so we hope to learn from each other to figure out some best practices for how we can address the specific problems that are occurring on the section.
