Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Let me, first of all, clarify that responsibility for the bridge project now rests with the Minister of Transportation. But, Mr. Speaker, I'll answer the question since it was directed to me. Yes, we are going to move ahead. We'll move ahead carefully, but we'll move ahead with solidarity. We're not going to slow down on this one. Mr. Speaker, I wrote to the Prime Minister this week, asking him, reminding him of his commitment and that this is part of the national highway system and we fully expect to have that. Mr. Speaker, keep in mind that these negotiations are between the Bridge Corporation and the contractor. It is the Bridge Corporation who is owning this bridge during the concession period, so it's not 100 percent ours. But I will take a look at how we can arrange briefings for the Members. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
