Thank you, Mrs. Groenewegen. I’ll take that as a comment. Committee, page 5, 2012-2013 Supplementary Appropriation, No. 3, (Infrastructure Expenditures). Transportation, capital investment expenditures, highways, special warrants, $1.028 million.

Highways, not previously authorized, $10.3 million. Total department, special warrants, $1.028 million. Total department, not previously authorized, $10.3 million. Does committee agree?

Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. Minister Miltenberger.

Duly noted. Mr. Bromley.

Thank you, Mrs. Groenewegen. For that we’ll go to Mr. Kalgutkar.

Thank you, Minister Miltenberger. Mr. Bromley.

Welcome back, committee. I will call committee back to order. We’re on page 5 of Supplementary Appropriation, No. 3. Continuing on with questions I have Mr. Bromley. Mr. Bromley, I will give you the full 10 minutes here.

Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. Minister Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Minister Miltenberger.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I guess to put this on a comparison level of large-scale projects that we do know of, and this goes back to the Auditor General of Canada who did an evaluation of the Deh Cho Bridge and indicated that there were some serious gaps in the risk matrix of that project. So I’m using that as a comparable tool. Is 43 percent of high risk moving forward on the project deemed a concern for the department to move forward with? Is that a reasonable question?

Thank you, Madam Chair. We are faced now with the ultimate go/no go scenario. We knew that was going to happen later today. It’s unfortunate that we are late in the evening now, after a very glorious day in terms of signing of devolution and now we are doing a second major milestone here for the 17th Assembly all within eight hours, so it’s quite a lot to take in for a lot of us. I know many of us are tired and I appreciate everyone here who has some input into this project.

I liken this to no different than if I was a CEO of a company and I had a board of directors who were pitching a project...
