I know from my participation here that we have a record of requests for dollars. Obviously, nickel and diming would not be the right term here because these are very significant amounts of money, but they are cumulative, that have eventually proved to be insufficient for the task at hand. In other words, we were told they would achieve this and they haven’t, and we’ve added and so on. I am very concerned about this project in general, as the House is well aware that this is completely in line with expectations that this cost will escalate and that we are, really, underestimating the significance of this project in terms of costs and future costs. That is certainly a concern.
My question would be: Will this be the final request to take us to completion of all of the information needed on which to base a go/no-go decision, or can we expect other requests? I assume we would have in hand as a go/no-go basis, environmental assessment cost estimates, as we heard earlier, and they would all be provided to committee, not just the lowest one, I assume, feasibility work and permitting. If I can get a response to that.
