Once the department decides to privatize I’m just wondering if they take into consideration, it might be fine and well to go ahead and privatize say bulk petroleum products, but does the department consider if after two years if the company can prove that they can take care of the petroleum products, does the department consider a third year that things will not change after year three? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I know I spoke about this yesterday, Mr. Chairman, with regard to the courthouse. I had a chance to take a look at the report that was done. I understand we can do a lot of savings with building a new courthouse in Yellowknife.

Basically there is no security in situations like that. Why...
