It is very relevant as we are dealing with monuments. Environmental impact statements are required for lesser things. It is important that we have regard to the merit of archaeological sites that we encounter in road development. On the last occasion we discussed this issue, Senator Henry spoke about what took place in Cologne in Germany. Developers were able to erect a road on stilts so it could pass over a certain archaeological site.
