The Association’s representatives appeared before us, saying that, after consulting the financial sector, they feared that the fact that the government had some legal authority over tolls might influence their quotation on the market and that their financing would thus cost more.
The amendment tabled today is designed to try and answer these concerns. We haven’t begun the process of changing tolls; we are in reactive mode. If the government realizes that an increase in tolls is causing problems with the fluidity of traffic and trade, it will then give itself the option of intervening.
