Thank you, Mr. Speaker. With respect to the Deh Cho Bridge Corporation, my first job as Minister was to go down to Ottawa and pound on the doors and meet federal Minister Cannon and advise him that this was one of our priority projects. The Deh Cho Bridge is a top priority, in fact. So over the course of Christmas and spring, our deputy minister had gone to Ottawa as well and talked with them. Of course, the federal budget unfolded, Mr. Speaker, and they did announce all kinds of money, and bureaucratically, even though they announced it, Mr. Speaker, they still had to work out the details. So that is where we are at right now. However, most significantly in this fiscal year, they did announce $80 million for P3 projects. I have been advised, Mr. Speaker, that the Deh Cho Bridge project has been short-listed. In fact, it is one of the P3 projects that the federal government has been looking at provincially and across Canada. So we are very high on their agenda in terms of the P3 funding, Mr. Speaker. Mahsi.
