Thank you, Mr. Chair. We do continually monitor our road. We're out on the roads every day, monitoring to ensure that they are safe. And, generally, we take action required to make sure that the road is safe, including having appropriate speed limits and signage as required, and then, as well, undertaking necessary repairs to the surface of the road. Obviously, it takes, will take, time to get the crew around to undertake all those needed repairs, and so we'll ensure that there's appropriate safety in place until that happens, including reducing speed as required.
We are continually balancing between capital and O and M, as well. If it's just a surface repair and it's a short section, then that would be a maintenance expenditure. There does come a time when the road does have to be reconstructed. Typically, we would look at upgrading the road at the same time. We do have some capital money on both Highway No. 3 and Highway No. 4 to undertake those repairs. The priority right now for Highway No. 4 is the continuing to upgrade the section past Prelude Lake, about kilometre 45 to kilometre 50 in that area. We're straightening out that road, reconstructing it.
All of this would be noted in our highway functional plans that we have. So each numbered highway has its own very high-level functional plan that would talk about the traffic, the users, the condition of the road, and then speak to some of the high-level needs and how the department is addressing those. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
