Through you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much for the question.
There are some strong, tangible examples in this province,where bridges built in the fifties and sixties, and prior to that, are becoming outdated. Our transportation system and our needs are changing. For example, we just had a case come to our office a few weeks ago of a bridge that has been more or less condemned on a lower class of road. The municipality wants to put a low-level crossing in and the Navigable Waters Protection Act says it has to be maintained as a bridge. Virtually nobody uses this road; it's a one-landowner road. That's how old and archaic the act is.
Those are things we have to change. It's costing not only us but all levels of government a lot of money.
