Mr. Premier, did you want Ms. Melhorn to add? Ms. Melhorn.

Does committee agree?

Minister of Transportation.

Deputy Premier, Mr. Neudorf.

Also, in regard to the temporary adjustment that you’re asking for, I believe the request was for five years. Is that confirmed also, that we’re looking at a five-year adjustment, and after that what happens to the debt after the five-year adjustment has been exceeded? How is that going to be handled on our books?

Next I have Mr. Bromley.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think it is a calculation this government has to do. We’re talking about 2,000 B-Trains taken off the system, which is tens of thousands of tonnes per B-Train, calculated by the $6 a tonne. That is a major means of revenue for the Deh Cho Bridge in tolls. If you lose that, it means you’re going to have to make it somewhere else. I’d like to ask the Minister if he could get his department to analyze that, hopefully consider that and bring it back to the House before we conclude our debate on this situation this week.

Maybe I’ll just remind the House to keep the side chatter to a minimum. It’s affecting some of the responses here. Mr. Yakeleya.

To the motion.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I was going to say I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore. I think all things being what they are, this has definitely been a pretty tough learning curve on how we handle P3s in the Northwest Territories. We, if anything, have had a very poor record on P3s. If anything, we should have probably done more due diligence on who our partners were and if they have the capacity to do the job. Also having a company heading your construction going bankrupt halfway through the project didn’t help either. I think we have to be realistic here that we hopefully will...
