But, Mr. Speaker, the Bridge Corporation are using the time that is available to them now to do more testing on the design of the bridge. They have made some changes to the design as a result of testing. They will be issuing a tender for the project, and we will take every step possible to ensure that there are no cost overruns. Mr. Speaker, on this size of project, that is a substantial challenge for the designers to be able to ever come up with a project that is going to be right on with no change orders. Mr. Speaker, the latest information that we have from the Bridge Corporation is that they are still looking at a $55 million to $60 million bridge. We are waiting, as I said earlier, Mr. Speaker, for an update on that cost estimate, and I would certainly be glad to share that with the Members as soon as we receive it in the next two or three weeks. Thank you.
