However, Minister Lebel has already decided that the project will be a PPP. Have you been consulted about that? Have you provided any recommendations? The studies commissioned by the government and the Department of Transport indicate that the cost of PPPs is higher than it would be if the project was paid for using public funds. Total costs to taxpayers are higher if a PPP is used. I was wondering whether you have looked into that.
