Mr. Brian Purcell:
At the time we simply did not have enough money to pay for this. The money was not in our capital budget. Subsequently some consideration was given to including the project in the PPP stream that is currently moving along. It was decided that would not be an appropriate project for the PPP process. We did not have any choice about the decision to write the money off because we had to stop. We did not have the money to proceed.
