Madam chair, I do not have a ten year listing. I mean, I have details here about the expenditures over the last couple of years for the purposes of the budget. I do not have a ten-year listing of things committed or reported to the internal audit bureau.

Thanks, Madam Chair. I mean, again, I mean -- again, I don't have reports in front of me of audits -- or of -- sorry, of potential fraud. I have a couple of examples in mind. But to be assured that I am not missing anything that's been reported -- they get reported every year. Whenever I've met with the Auditor General of Canada, in fact I'm asked expressly about that. So I don't have that with me tonight. But I can provide that to committee.

Okay, so I want to go before my time runs out here regarding the interest on the Deh Cho Bridge. So every year we're paying about $9 million just for the interest. What is the term of that agreement since it's a P3? Is it [Audio] years? Is it a hundred years? What is the term of that agreement?

So I don't want to lose time here but I also want to ask about contract services. You know, the expenditure goes from double for this coming year. What does that entail? And the other question I want to ask is about the interest. There's -- there's an interest line there of expenditure of 20 million 462 and I want to know what that's -- that entails, those two, before my time ends.

Thank you, Madam Chair. The contract services change between main estimates and here, this is the change, the accounting standards that I've mentioned earlier shown up above under the asset retirement obligations. So that's -- you're seeing it here. This is put under the contract services category.
Madam Chair, I've just lost my finger on what the other item was. Maybe the deputy minister did not do that. So let me see if I could send it to him for the other question. Sorry.

Thank you, Madam Chair. So the first was as the Minister mentioned, there was a contract for increased adjustment to the liability count due to newly identified sites and reevaluation of existing environmental sites. So we were determining what the future liability were of those environmental sites.
And then the second was a -- we spent less than we expected to on credit consultation services. So those were services provided by people that give us advice on how best to borrow money. Thank you, Madam Chair.
