Thank you, Madam Chair. I had a question in regard to the money, the accrued interest, legal fees, bank fees. It's seeming to pile up on the Deh Cho Bridge project; it's $507,000. I'm wondering if the Minister can tell us if we're putting a timeline or a fixed date. We had the Premier mention to us this summer that we were going to put our foot down and we weren't going to be spending any more money in this area until obviously $70 million was going to fall out of the sky somehow. But when are the brakes going to be put on the spending here and when is our risk that we have there going to be stopped? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, this amount is calculated with interest and costs up to March 31st, 2007, and the costs have been carried and rolled over and the interest has been growing and we were requested by the bank that these portions, this portion of the guarantee, they'd requested it be paid out and that's why it's here today. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. If you had a loan with the bank and you paid it out, you wouldn't have any more interest that you'd have to pay on it. So I'm just wondering if the loan guarantee hasn't been paid out, why hasn't it been paid out and when might that happen so we don't have to pay interest on it? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, the guarantee is still in place. It has not been paid out and we're waiting for further indication from the federal government if they will entertain this project. At that point these costs will be recovered from the project. If there is no decision to proceed with this project, then we will be, as a GNWT, fully on the hook for the total costs. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I think we're dreaming quite a big dream if we think we can recoup some of these costs going forward. I'd say, you know, from a financial standpoint, the sooner we pay out the loan guarantee and get on with things the better off we'll be. Thank you.
