Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We have looked at this carefully. There is a process. There are a number of considerations that are there. The public interest is paramount. The value for money must be demonstrable. Appropriate public control and ownership must be preserved. Accountability must be maintained and all processes must be fair, transparent and efficient. We’ve put this project through the rigour, for value, for money, a review, and we looked at it because we are required to under our P3 policy, anything over $50 million, and we are of the opinion that we can demonstrate and have demonstrated that, well, as the Member indicates, it’s a much maligned process that in this instance seems to be something that’s very, very worth considering.
