Thank you for the question, Kelly.
Yes, there is something that could be done, and I would hope that the committee could help us in this, and that is in the regulatory regime of municipal infrastructure and the work we do. We are bound by regulatory bodies both federally and provincially, but federally we have, under Transport Canada, the Navigable Waters Protection Act, and we have the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. There are regulatory changes that could be made under the Navigable Waters Protection Act that would alleviate a lot of onus on municipalities, and especially this one, and that is the definition of what is called a “navigable waterway”. That has to be clearly defined. We are dealing with an act that was incorporated in 1898, and we're trying to do it in 2010. That's what's wrong with our system today. It won't impact the environment in any way. What it means is where we have bridges in rural Saskatchewan that are 50 to 60 years old and cannot take the transportation that is on them today--with trucks and the size of trucks--we could replace those with steel pipe at a third of the price, and sometimes less. That's one change that has to be made, the definition of what is a “navigable waterway”.
