Thank you, Mr. Chair.
The fundamental question is when did the government find out that the bridge was deteriorating at a troubling rate. In paragraph 4.26 of your report, you say:
However, we found that the JCCBI's communication did not clearly present the increasingly rapid deterioration of the existing bridge.
Obviously, it's pretty difficult to make the right decision at the right time when you don't have the right facts. That is clear.
Now, I'd like to move on to another point. It was initially decided that the new bridge would have tolls. A new government was then elected and decided that the bridge would be toll-free. By your estimate, traffic on the bridge will go up by 20% as a result. What was the estimate based on, and what impact will the increase have?
