I will tell Mr. Meaney why I am asking. For example, there have been so many accidents and fatalities on the N17. I had not meant to speak about this.
That project is in the NDP, but it is being delayed. If you are looking at building a road, you are obviously looking at extra emissions and so on. Could it mean that would then be impacted when the assessment is done? It would surely impact it, would it not? What if you had another option like rail or some other option? You would be likely to shelve what is there because of the emissions you would be trapped into for the future. Would that be the case?
