Thank you, Madam Chair. Thanks to the Minister and Mr. Neudorf for being here today, talking about Transportation. General comments I have are revolving mostly around the bridge for the next couple of minutes here. Obviously in today’s address the Minister has indicated $10 million more, making the grand total thus far for the bridge at just over $192 million. I guess the concern I have is, and I think the concern that many people in the North have is, is that the cap in terms of what this project is going to cost?

Obviously over the course of the bridge the Minister, former Member, was all too...

Does the committee agree?

Detail. Thank you. We’ll defer the department summary found on page 3-2 and we’ll review the estimates by activity summary beginning on page 3-4 in your capital estimates books. Finance, activity summary, office of the comptroller general, infrastructure investment summary, total infrastructure investment summary, zero.

Thank you, committee. Does the committee agree that consideration for the Department of Industry, Tourism and Investment is completed?

Okay. I will ask the Sergeant-at-Arms to please escort the witnesses into the Chamber.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Earlier today the Minister of Health gave us a glowing review on the state of the union of the Department of Health and Social Services.

Thank you. I will now rise and report progress.

Detail. Thank you very much. We will defer the department summary found on page 10-2 and review the estimates by activity summary. I would like to turn your attention to 10-4 in your capital estimates book. Industry, Tourism and Investment, activity summary, tourism and parks, infrastructure investment summary, total infrastructure investment summary, $1.241 million.

I’d like to thank the Minister. I’d like to thank Mr. Campbell for joining us today. I’d ask the Sergeant-at-Arms to please escort the witness out of the Chamber.

I will ask the Minister of Finance if he has any witnesses to call to the table.
