Good afternoon, Mr. Chairman. I support the initiative of the P3. However, there are a number of things to ensure. As we have heard earlier, the transparency of the process, where we cannot be considered by other parties that we are influencing the process by political will instead of the need established. As well, my concern will be in the area of ensuring that future governments are not put into a situation where we are paying long-term and we freeze everything after a couple years of building new infrastructure and then we are stuck back to our lower levels and having to pay long-term for existing leases. We do not want to be put back into a situation of having to make reductions to balance the books. I think that, as was referred to earlier, the process established needs to be a clear one. There needs to be a framework put in place where one can measure the results and the way things get done, a framework that does not limit what projects go into it but a basis for where one can measure the results of the projects and the success or failure of those projects. Just to be brief, I would say I support the P3 and the sooner we get on with it the more we can get done for the residents of the territories. Thank you.
