First of all, I have to say that bridge safety and security is most certainly a priority.
I can fully appreciate why Quebec is making it a priority, given Pierre Marc Johnson's report on the accident that happened in Quebec five years ago. I am very familiar with the needs of the Champlain bridge over the next two years, indeed the next ten years. A lot more money has been spent on that.
My deputy minister can tell you about a study designed to determine not only the immediate needs, but also whether it is time to consider building a new bridge. I will ask the deputy minister to elaborate on that.
