Thank you, Madam Chair. I think we all know and applaud the government for pursuing alternate potential of money to develop infrastructure in the north. I am concerned with the process by which that is brought about. I think what I want to seek is some reassurance from the Minister and perhaps an assurance that he will ensure that the Standing Committee on Infrastructure, in his case, is informed of any such potential joint venture projects that might be contemplated by his department or on behalf of his department and another department. The purpose of that is because the Department of Infrastructure is responsible for reviewing all business plans, and it only makes sense to me, Madam Chair, that this be brought about. After all, we are here to review the business plans and all the capital expenditures of this government. Therefore, I am sure that we can be a guiding process in this and a contributing factor to this whole success of something of this nature. Thank you.
