Thank you, Madam Chair. I believe that’s true. It was a policy in the days of yore. It certainly is not any longer. What concerns me is, as time goes by, the proportion being paid for by the federal government declines steadily. Of course, this is all within context. I’m not just complaining about the cost of the road or anything. This is within the context of the other priorities that we have and the infrastructure deficit that we’re building as we choose to pour it all into this one project.

The Minister has noted that he thinks we can afford this. We are making decisions for the 17th Assembly. Unfortunately, we are also making decisions for the 18th Assembly here, just as the

16th Assembly pushed us into increased debt, albeit

with a little bit of a raised debt limit for the 17th Assembly. This is an uncomfortable trend to see. I again just don’t generally support that approach of this Minister of Finance who has been common to the two.

I just want to comment, too, on the geotech work. I understand it is to focus on the cost of the bridges as well as the proving up, hopefully once and for all, the gravel resources. How many bridges and water crossings are we talking about?
