Thank you, Madam Chair. Thanks to the Minister for his opening remarks. I just want to put in a word here of appreciation, on behalf of the folks in Detah and all those that use that road, to my colleagues and to the Minister and all my colleagues in the House for approving this or proposing this expenditure.
It’s been a very long time. I think people know that the road was originally just thrown in almost on an incidental basis. They got a tractor out there and basically put soil and gravel on top of the vegetation. It wasn’t even properly cleared. As a result, it’s suffered a lot of problems over the years. People have paid for that in one way or the other, so this is very good news.
To date, this project has been funded in a happy-go-lucky way and mostly not funded. We’ve just been through another couple of years where it wasn’t funded, so I appreciate the very intentional let’s fund this project and hopefully let’s fund it to completion.
I appreciate the House bringing this forward. Obviously, it will be getting my support and on behalf of the people of Detah. Mahsi.
