Okay. Thank you for that.
The other question I had is for the department, because I know that the Auditor General didn't specifically look at the greenhouse gas emissions as part of the audit.
There is a Federal Sustainable Development Act in place already, and Parliament is looking at passing a bill that would make amendments to that act. Section 5 of that act says that the government, in all its decisions, must not only accept the principle of an “ecologically efficient use of natural, social and economic resources”, but it needs to integrate environmental factors in the making of all its decisions.
My question for the department is this: Did the government take into account the increased greenhouse gas emissions that would result from the extra million cars and trucks that would cross this bridge each and every year because of the elimination of tolls?
