will Manitoba's remaining 16 km be twinned in the near future? Saskatchewan can still finish first!

Lets not forget that the 16 km remaining highway runs through rock outcrops and along shield lakes. It's not easy to "dig" through that kind of terrain and the cost is more than likely intimidating, which is exactly the reason why Ontario, and even BC and Alberta with similar issues, haven't been able to twin their portions of the TC highway. Saskatchewan has it the easiest, as their portion of the TC highway run through any such terrain.
But either way, it took both Manitoba and Saskatchewan way too long to twin this highway. Embarrassing, if you ask me.
