Miller said it would be a way to raise money for a second bridge.

The report will also look at whether Prince Albert residents should pay the toll.

Officials have been lobbying for a second bridge for years.

Repairs and traffic congestion on Diefenbaker Bridge have been ongoing problems.

Diefenbaker Bridge is also a lifeline into northern Saskatchewan.

Miller expects the report will take several months.
