Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is directed to the Minister of Finance in relation to the public and private partnerships initiative. Mr. Speaker, there seems to be a growing perception out and about that this P3, as it is called, is $200 million possibly, of free money, that we will be able to have almost unlimited construction without really having to track it or possibly pay the tab. I would like to ask the Minister what steps he is taking to, in fact, ensure this very beneficial program will have the proper checks and balances? Is there clear information out there as to what exactly qualifies under this particular initiative? Thank you.
