I would just say that at this point in time, sure, the government can borrow at 1.5% or whatever rate, but that rate won't hold forever. I think it's reasonable to assume that the rate goes up.

At the end of the day, this is about risk premium and the value, whether in cost efficiency or schedule, that the private sector is able to deliver in respect of the infrastructure projects.
