No, Madam Chair.
Thank you, Madam Chair. I am here to present Supplementary Estimates (Infrastructure Expenditures), No. 7, 2010-2011. This document outlines an increase of $8.5 million for capital investment expenditures in the 2010-2011 fiscal year for the Department of Transportation to provide appropriation authority to record the valuation adjustment on the long-term debt associated with the Deh Cho Bridge Project. I am prepared to review the details of the supplementary estimates document.
