Brian Masse NDP Windsor West, ON

Thank you. I just wanted to be clear because I get that quite a bit.

With regard to the three work plans that Mr. Badawey has asked for, will they be available for the public as well so they will see the results? Will they be published on your website?

9:40 a.m.

Vice-President, Communications and Stakeholder Relations, Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority

Heather Grondin

Yes, we already do have some information related to our mitigation measures on our website. We will continue to present that information to the public.

9:40 a.m.

NDP

Brian Masse NDP Windsor West, ON

Will you have specific elements, such as mitigation of air pollution and so forth? Will it be broken down to those different concerns? Air quality is one concern; construction and business are others.

Will it be broken down, or has that not been decided yet?

9:40 a.m.

Vice-President, Communications and Stakeholder Relations, Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority

Heather Grondin

We'll take that into consideration when we go back and look at the information that we have to present.
