We had done quite a bit of study, both in and out of this committee, and it was indicated by a lot of experts across the country and I think your organization had some input in this as well that with that kind of dedicated stream of funds we could rebuild the national highway system over a 15-year period, which was deemed to be reasonable. It would be nice if we could go out on day one and just put a new highway in, but that's not going to happen.
Nous avons fait passablement d'études, au comité et ailleurs, et de nombreux experts d'un bout à l'autre du pays ont dit—je pense d'ailleurs que votre organisation a eu son mot à dire—que si l'on pouvait compter sur un tel flux d'argent continu, on pourrait rebâtir le réseau routier national sur une période de 15 ans, ce qui était jugé raisonnable.
