Of course, I would like to say that publicly while I am here. Anyway, Mr. Speaker, it is certainly my intent, or our intent, to develop policies and direction on the P3 that ensure that two key things came out of the discussions we had with some of the advocacy groups out there. There is a clear concern, as Mr. Picco frequently talks about, and rightly so, of transparency. The need for transparency. The need for people to see where it is going, why it is going there, et cetera. We need to address that, and we are working hard to address that. Perhaps, the more important one that came up time and time again, whether it was in discussions with the NWT Construction Association, the NWT Chamber of Commerce or other groups, was the affordability issue. I am very much aware of that, and we are working very hard right now to put the policies and the regulations in place that are going to do that. I could, for my colleague's benefit, perhaps table tomorrow the P3 policy and some of the regulations that Mr. Coles, who was the consultant on the issue, has given us as long as he understands that we were still making adjustments to them. It is certainly our intent to do exactly as my honourable colleague has suggested. Thank you.
