I was going to ask a question about northern Alberta, Fort McMurray, the Athabaska River, and a bridge that needs to go over it, and I'm going to ask that question very briefly.
We've had two bridges go across the Athbaska River for years and years, about 40 years in total. Now we need another bridge, because we have line-ups of three to four hours to get across a bridge. There has been a proposal for a five- or six-lane bridge to go across to replace an existing bridge.
My question is do we have to go through exactly the same amount of assessment to replace a bridge that has out-used its liveable life? Is that totally necessary, from the department's point of view?
