I have one really quick question for you, based on the academic work that you've done in studying P3s. Have you done a study of design-build and other procurement systems that the public sector uses?

We have a pier in Burlington, where I'm from, that has taken eight years and it has tripled its price. We've had to call the bond on the original contractor. I'm not sure that design-build works every time either.

Have you done a study on what happens with design-build in other systems?
