Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is directed to the Minister of Finance in relation to his budget address yesterday, specifically on page 9 on the Public/Private Partnerships and the figures he makes reference to, specifically once again up to $200 million, that may be in fact leverage because of the new public/private partnership initiative. A figure that has been mentioned would be $24 million annually to be able to pay the lease cost or interest cost related to that type of new initiative. The concern, Mr. Speaker, is where will that money come from? Can we get assurances that in fact it will not come out of the O and M budget and programs and can the Minister indicate how he intends to deal with that? Thank you.
