Thank you, Ms. Lee. Mr. Minister.

Debates of , (day 4)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I’d like to get that figure of $4 million, and I guess it’s in Hansard now, so I’m not sure if it’s written in stone anywhere but that would be a good place to start, and I don’t think it should go over that, Mr. Speaker. I’d also like to ask a question to the Minister about risk. Should the toll revenue decrease $1 million a year five years from now, who’s going to absorb that $1 million in risk, Mr. Speaker? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. I didn’t hear a question there. I am going to move to the next general comment. Mr. Braden.

Debates of , (day 4)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I’d like to continue with a line of questioning for the Minister of Transportation. Again it’s on the Deh Cho Bridge project and I’d like to certainly sign up to negotiate with this government. I mean, here the Minister talks about negotiations going on and these guys can’t even put a top level on what they’re willing to spend; what the tolls are going to be. It’s an open-ended negotiation. I think that’s what I haven’t heard from the government is what is the ceiling? Where are we going to go to? What are we prepared to spend? What are we willing...

Debates of , (day 4)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Your committee has been considering Bill 1, An Act to Amend the Partnership Act; Bill 2, An Act to Amend the Condominium Act; and Bill 3, An Act to Amend the Legal Services Act, and would like to report that Bills 1, 2 and 3 are ready for third reading. Mr. Speaker, I move that the report of Committee of the Whole be concurred with.

Thank you, Ms. Lee. Mr. Minister.

Debates of , (day 4)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would hazard to guess that tolls will be in excess of $6. I mean it doesn’t take a mathematician to figure that out. With the project in excess of $130 million, the tolls are obviously going to have to be over $6. It was obvious from yesterday’s discussion that the government isn’t going to wait for the federal government to come in with capital dollars to put into this project. It is obvious. I would like to ask the Minister of Transportation, has the government drawn a line in the sand where it can say too much is too much? Be that either on...
