When the federal government put $150 million on the table towards the Tuk-Inuvik highway, we indicated to them that we were in no position, with their existing financial arrangements and borrowing limit, to even be able to contemplate partaking in that project in addition to all the other cost pressures we had. Was it a factor in the discussion when we talked about the borrowing limit? Absolutely. We’ve laid out all the conditions, all the checks and balances that have since arisen and been committed to in this House through myself, through the Minister of ITI, through the Premier, but yes, that was a factor in that discussion.
