Mr. Chairman, again I want to emphasize that this is the Deh Cho Bridge fund act. The legislation sets out very carefully and very clearly the purposes how that fund is collected and the purposes for which it can be spent. As I said before, those purposes are laid out in a memorandum of understanding that sets the terms. This act is very explicit in what the funds can be used for and the government is responsible for its regulations, both legally and politically. We have set up, gone much further than any other legislation I can think of in a public process for letting people know if there is going to be a change in the tolls and providing opportunity for input. If people feel that we are verging on going outside of the provisions in the act or have something that is unfair, there is already a process in there. So adding in other words, in my view, Mr. Chairman, is redundant. The act is very clear of what we can spend this money on. Thank you.
