Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, there has been an undertaking on my part as a Minister to review the basis on which these previous decisions were made. To find our for myself whether or not these decisions were in fact decisions that were sound and should be continued to be supported by me, and whether there were any probable or reasonable grounds on which to go back to Cabinet to ask Cabinet to reconsider. Not only these two projects, but in fact also a number of other capital projects. I have decided that there would be no particular good that would come of me revisiting and reopening this whole issue that has seen extensive work and resources put to advance it to this stage. So, it is my view, and I asked Cabinet if they still stand behind the decision and Cabinet has indicated they stand behind the decisions made by Cabinet and FMB last year. That is where we are now, we are ready to proceed with the decisions that have been made and we look forward to discussing some changes to the financial aspects of the proceedings. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
