Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions are on the P3, public partnership. Earlier Mr. Todd spoke about transparency and in his budget address he said that over the next two years $100 million each year could be dedicated to the Public Partnership Agreement under the P3. Someone has to pay for that $200 million that would be in the form of lease payments over 20 years or whatever. It is not free money. On this transparent process, I wonder what type of regulations will be in place so that the perception, as it were, of the public, that it is a clear process. In the transparency process would we be using the current capital five-year projections plan? Like in my community where we have turned down recreation complexes and that, because there was no money, would the community expect those types of things to be in this P3 Public Partnership Program? I am asking the Minister about transparency and how will the projects be picked, how will they come forward? Will it be in that five-year capital planning process that we have now? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
