Thanks to the Minister. I appreciate that we don’t want people stopping there, but maybe we could just brainstorm a little. I mean, sitting here listening to the answer, I totally agree that we don’t want people parking in the drop-off zone, but maybe if we put luggage carriers outside. You know, something like that just to make life a little simpler. There are a lot of people who simply drop somebody off and move on and you cannot get out of your vehicle unless you want to get a parking ticket.

Mr. Nadli.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I just have a couple of comments here. I’ll start where Mr. Dolynny left off with the Mackenzie Valley Highway, the road from Inuvik to Tuk. I, too, am concerned. I appreciate that the Minister has advised that we haven’t got a decision yet, but we also don’t yet know the total cost of the project. Sometimes I feel that we are heading pell-mell down a road without considering what’s at the end of the road when we get there, and I just want to say that I am extremely cautious about this project. Once bitten, twice shy. And the Deh Cho Bridge, having gone through the Deh...
