Mr. Chair, I welcome all of the recommendations and advice that I'm getting from our colleagues, including this committee. We are now at a critical phase. As my colleague mentioned, it's getting delicate, because many landowners want to negotiate a fair deal for themselves and ensure that the path of the bypass is acceptable to them.
We are working very diligently and delicately with our colleagues. This issue crosses partisan lines, Mr. Chair. I want to thank all of my colleagues in the House of Commons and here in committee who understand the importance of the bypass and have expressed a willingness to work together to address all of those questions.
