Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Let me just remind Members that in 1978 I believe it was, the Legislative Assembly of the day looked at the price of the bridge and decided then that $6.2 million was too much, so they put it on the back burner. Today we're looking at, as the Member had said, something in the neighbourhood of 130, somewhere in that range. If we had done it in 1978 instead of putting it on the back burner, we would have had a bridge a long time ago and we'd have a cost of living that's a lot lower than it is today.

Mr. Speaker, I'm concerned of putting it on the back burner because the costs are going to continue to go up. So we've got to get on with this project and that's been our message to the federal government: Get on with it. Do it. It's going to be less money this year than it's going to be five years from now or whenever we think we may have the money.

Mr. Speaker, in regard to the equity from the Bridge Corporation; yes, they are putting money into it. They are investing in it; they are taking some risk on it, and I don't have the exact numbers on that information, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
