If there was to be a limit, I am sure my honourable colleague would want it to be $25 million because I think that is what the Iqaluit/Nunavut hospital facility requires. Again, I stress to him that we are still working out all the details. We are taking a look at the affordability side of things. My inclination is to give as much maximum flexibility as possible. I am not one that likes to put restraints or conditions attached to things. The two conditions that are attached to this policy from a financial perspective is transparency and affordability. The rest of it, as I have said, I am prepared to share with my colleague and the Members of this House as soon as we get the i's dotted and the t's crossed on how we are going to proceed in terms of the regulations and the policies related to public and private partnerships. I will do that as quickly as I can, but I do not, at this time, see a project by project limitation. Who knows, as we move forward in the next three or four days to finalize how we are going to proceed with these projects. Thank you.
