Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The parking garage upgrade is scheduled to begin this year. There was some work done on the upgrade. Some of the money was spent on the parking upgrade.

The Willow River Bridge is part of the Access Roads Program. The Access Roads Program, as committee knows, is a program where there is just a little over $1 million and sometimes a little under $1 million spent in the program each year. So what we try to do with some of the projects is we try to support some of the programs in a larger way. This is one of the programs that we tried to support and we knew going in that it would be a substantial cost to put the bridge in.

There may be another way to do it where it would be less of a cost, but we knew it would be a fairly substantial cost to install a bridge. We don’t have the money in the Access Program. As I indicated in the House, if we intend to continue to finish this road and put the bridge in, then we would probably have to do it under regular capital where this actual project would be viewed as larger capital but just a slight issue with that. As we know, the system is if we’re going to spend some serious infrastructure money, it’s usually on our infrastructure contribution agreement, usually a

lot less and it’s not an asset

that we retain.

The Louis Cardinal Ferry is due for an upgrade, as the Member indicates. I’m just checking to see if this ferry is scheduled for replacement. My feeling is that it isn’t, that we wouldn’t be spending money on it to extend, we’d only be spending money on it to extend the life for a little while until we did find some capital dollars or replace it with another asset that we already have. Currently, we have money in for this year and this coming summer and we will be coating the hull of the ferry and that’s what we have in front of us today. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
