Mr. Speaker, maybe I’ll ask a
question back. The fact is that this Assembly feels it hasn’t had the opportunity to debate this in its full length. Concession agreements, schedules, projects that we do, whether they’re $4 million, $40 million or $80 million contracts for infrastructure we have in our communities, or leases — we have 10-year leases on infrastructure for office spaces, whether in this city or other communities — go through a process but don’t get reviewed by committee on a contract-by-contract scenario.
In this case, Members are asking for a line-by-line review. We’ve provided that information. I can’t see doing that. We’re already involved, and we’re not extending any more commitment than, in fact, just signing off what’s already been part of the process and having the banks finally satisfied that this can proceed from their lending the money to the Deh Cho Bridge Corporation and then allowing the bridge to proceed.
At that stage I’m aware that those documents are in final review now and potentially being sent up sometime tomorrow for review and signature as a final sort of step to this. Now, does committee want the veto on that? I’m not prepared at this point, because it’s a normal part of the process, but if committee wants to sit a couple of more days, let’s have a debate in this House. Let’s finally bring this to closure. I would say that if this Assembly is in agreement with this project, then we can finally conclude this and get on with business. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
