Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My written question is to Mr. Todd and the Financial Management Board. First of all, is it anticipated that any government support of P3 initiatives proposed in the west after April 1, 1999, will exceed the 15 percent figure allowed for in legislation. Second, what is a cumulative amount of guarantees that will be in place after April 1, 1999, for the new Western Territory? Thank you.
