Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Given the common theme of many of the opening comments, it seems to me the issue of process would be a fine item for August’s Caucus agenda to spend at least one time going around on protocols and those types of things which are important. If we need to have that discussion, I think that would be the place collectively to do it and see where we end up. Of course, we can always learn from the processes as we work our way through them.

The issue of the traditional economy and the challenges, I appreciate the Member’s comments, and we are committed in many areas to try to

support local businesses, the traditional economy, fur programs. As Minister Ramsay said on his trip to China, it’s a banner year for northern fur. We, as well, are working very closely with all the Aboriginal governments and co-management boards to look at the issue of wildlife management, in particular the bison recovering from anthrax in the Mackenzie sanctuary and the pressure that the two main herds are under, the Bathurst herd and now the Bluenose-East.

There is potential for P3s, but in reality, at the end of the day, the bridge was not a P3. It was a government funded, government run, government constructed project. We took it over fully partway through the process. But in regard to federal P3, there is a process that we will look at. We are, in fact, obligated under our own policies for projects over $50 million, to try to see what the opportunity is, so things like Stanton, for example, we’ll look at what’s possible under a P3. If we ever move into significant economic infrastructure, we’ll look there, as well, to see what’s possible.

I appreciate the Member’s comments on the Heritage Fund. We do consult. We do listen. We do incorporate. In this case, there are a lot of other variables we’re considering, but the process is underway, and as we work our way through this budget process I’m confident we’ll once again come forward with a budget that will have the support of the Assembly, including the direction on the Heritage Fund.
