Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, just following up on some questions on that P3 which I am in support of. If projects are identified to the capital plan like the two hospitals, I think everyone can see the necessity for those. Mr. Speaker, if we go to $100 million in the private partnerships, that means there will be about $24 million in lease payments paid out by this government. So that has to come out of somewhere. We do not have any new money, so it has to come out of programs or something else. If we go to $100 million this year and we do $100 million next year, where will those lease payments come from? Do you have to cut programs to come up with this money? How will that be worked out? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
